MUSICAL FESTIVAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,—l feel thyself called upon to reply to a paragraph, signed "Bewsher and Fleetwood," which appeared in the Albion of Monday, the 3d instant, relative to the organ in St. Michael's Church not being used by the Festival Society, as advertised. Having the care and tuning of the Corporation organs, I beg leave to explain the reason why it could not be used on the occasion. Sir George Smart tried the organ on Friday, the 30th ult., the tuning of which met his decided approbation, also that of Mr. Gray, of London, Mr. George Holden, and other com petent judges; but, on comparing the pitch with his fork, he found it to be half a tone under concert pitch (in which state it was originally put up by the builders). On inquiry, Mr. Gray informed him that it could not be altered in the given time; besides, it would be attended with a considerable ex pense ; in consequence of which the service was appointed to take place at St. Luke's Church. The builders having mentioned that, had they had the care of the organ, it would not have been requisite to remove the service to another church, I beg leave to state that the organ could not possibly be used on that occasion, without being first altered as above-mentioned, as there would be wind instruments which are up to concert pitch to accompany it. They must have been fully aware, when they inserted the paragraph alluded to, that the fault was in the original pitch of the organ, and not in the present tuning. Yours, &c. 32 , Ranelagh-street, Oct. 5,1836. W. P. DREAPER. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. TRADE op LEEDS.—We have very little alteration to note in our staple article of commerce. Both merchants and cloth manufacturers are acting with the greatest caution, and as the stocks are co mparatively low, there is no immediate apprehen sion of any c onsiderabl e reduction in prices. BRADFORD.—'there was a good attendance of merchants at market on Thursday, and numerous sales were effected, but the same degree of caution which has characterised their proceed ings for some weeks past, seemed still to actuate their conduct. The superior and medium qualities of goods are as high as they have been for some time, but inferior descriptions may be bought on easier terms., The manufacturers continue well em ployed. The sales of wool were more extensive this week than last, but prices were not so th.m, which may probably be attribu ted to the unusual dullness of the wool markets, and a conse quent trifling decline in th! .. price o f some descriptions of wool. HAI.IFAX MARKET Ori Wednesday was brisker than it has been for some time past. There was a larger attendance of merchants, and they seemed to purchase. more freely. This line of prices, ckness: Yarns were in duced by the recent slproportionably may, perhaps, be attributable a to a trifling d e , lower. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. Robert Wilson Evans, Fellow and late Tutor of Trinity, Cambridge, to the living of Tarvie, near Chester. The Rev. Thomas Sheriffe, jun., to the rectory of Henstead, Suffolk. At a meeting of the Governors of the Free Grammar School in Bury, on Friday last, the Rey. John Edward Kempe, M.A.,Fellow of Clare Hall. Cambridge, was unanimously elected econd Master, upon the resignation of the Rev. H. T. Thompson, M.A. The Rev. John_ Yardley, to St. Chad, Shrewsbury. The Rev. E. Bimell, of Falmouth, to the curacy of St. Blazey. The Rev. Joseph Mendham, to tho chapelry of Meer Green, Sutton Coldfield. The Rev. Mr. Cottle, to the Perpetual Curacy of Taunton St. James. The Rev. Thomas Blackburne, Vicar of Eccles, Lancashire, to the rectory of Prestwich-cum-Oldham. The Rev. F. Sturgis, of Hornsea, to the curacy of Sutt on , i n Holdernese, Yorkshire. The Rev. Stephen 'White, E.A to be chaplain to the Union, at Warminster. The, first st one o f a new c h urc h to b e erecte d i n Sheffield Park, to be called St. John the Evangelist, was laid last week by Lord Howard of Effingham. ORDINATION.—On Sunday, Sept. 25th, the Right Rev. Dr. Percy, Lord Bishop of Carlisle, held an ordination at the parish church of Dalston. The following gentlemen were or dained : Priest—The Rev. Joseph Irving, B.A. of Trinity College, Dublin. Deacons—Henry Percy, B.A. of St. John's College, Cambridge; Alexander Bath Power, B.A. of Cathe rine Hall, Cambridge ; John Dawson, B.A. of St. John's Col lege Cambridge ; John Wannop, B.A. of Trinity College, YORK CA naA L.,—This noble edifice is now beautified with a new spire at the south-east angle, in the place of the old one, which was taken down a few years ago. It is about thirty feet high, and though the base has not received its attendant enrich ments, yet its symmetry and the boldness of workmanship of its ornaments are, we presume, in no wise inferior to the original. Great credit is due to the Venerable the Dean and Chapter, for their liberal spirit and desire to restore the decayed and tottering parts of their church to theirpristine state ofstrength and beauty. HEREFORD CATHEDRAL—This fine edifice has lately been much improved and restored, chiefly under the direction of the Very Rev. the Dean. Among other improvements is the re storation Of a beautiful chapel under the eastern end of the edi fice, which has long been hid from public view by the rubbish suffered to accumulate around it. DEATH OF THE VICE-CHANcELLOE OF OXFORD. —O H Wed nesday, the sth instant, at four o'clock. died, after a severe illness of three weeks, the Rev. George Rowley, D.D., Master of University College, and Vice-Chancellor of this University. He was elected Head of this College in 1821, and took the degree of D.D. June 15 in the same year. Was appointed Vice- Chancellor just before Michaelmas Term, 1832, and as the office is usually held for four years. that period would have expired at the end of the present week. With the exception of Dr. Richards, who died in 1803, there has not occurred a death of a Vice- Chancellor here for uprwads of 50 years. Dr. Gilbert, Principal of Brazennose College, stands next in rotation for this office.

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1836. `We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, which arrived here yesterday. It relates the perpetration of a most barbarous act, from which the mind revolts : " The state of the country is perfectly quiet, but a most horri ble scene took place in one of our public squares a few days ago. Seventy-two unfortunate I ndian soldiers having been tried and condemned for mutiny, were brought outand shot. In Case that life should not be extinct, their throats weroalso cut. They were carried away by sixes and seveui from the phine of execu tion, and thrown into a ditch dug on purpose for their reception; The streets were absolutely streaming with Wed, and presented a most frightful spectacle ; one Indian, not having been quite killed, rose up from the heap of wretches, and vented impreca tions on his slaughterers. Some soldiers immediately despatched him with the butt-end of their muskets." We have a mass of foreign news since our last publi cation, furnished by the French and Spanish papers, cor respondence, &c., the entire' of which it is impossible for us to publish. We give as much as possible, together with the latest London news. Our last statements rela- tive to the alleged defect of Gomez are entirely confirm ed. This boasted victory has dwindled clown to nothing. The reviews at Campeigne have gone off with safety to the person of the French king, if not with eclat, who was preserved frOm rude intrusion by the interposition of a circular cordon of two thousand men. He entered the sixty-fourth year of his age on the 6th instant, Thursday, and is in good health. The diplomatic note of the new French government is of importance, as it shows the de termination of the French government to act with sigour in suppressing revolutionary societies, wherever its in fluence can be made to bear. The French papers do not contain any intelligence of domestic interest, but they put us in possession of this document, which is of great moment, with reference to foreign policy, as the ultima tum of the present cabinet, delivered by the Duke de Montebello, on the 27th ult., to the Swiss federative as sembly, suspending all diplomatic relations until " France shall have obtained that satisfaction which imprudence on the part of the Cantons had given to her the right of demanding." This note, for which we have not room to day, establishes the all important fact that Louis Phillipe, with his present mi nisters, as well as the Austrian governmeut, are not in clined to suffer a band of republicans to nestle on the very centre of Europe, from which they may send forth their agents and doctrines whenever opportunity pre sents itself. This proceeding, together with the defini tive disbandment or distribution of the foreign corps at Pari, by an order of the day of Colonel Joise, may be taken as a fair indication of the intended policy of the French doctrinaire ministry, with respect to revolution ary Spain, and gives at the same time a broad hint to our own.protocolic, temporising administration and their protege king, Mendizabal, the eminent stock jobber ! . , . . . , Sir Robert Peel has; with gieat emphasis and truth, observed, that " the battle of the constitution must hence forth be fought i n th e registration courts." The cot.. rectness of this declaration, on the part of the right hon... baronet, is now fully es t a blish e d ; an d .w i t h a ll t h ose w h o have at heart the welfare 'and the preservation'of the British constitutional monarchy, and the blessings which it comprehends, within the range of its rational dominion and protective influence, that declaration will not only be duly appreciated, but acted upon, with the vigour and unremitting perseverance which the emergency and im portant interests 'concerned render necessary. The re form bill having become the law of the land, we are bound as Englishmen, and loyal subjects, to yield sub mission to that bill, and to the measures and proiisions it embraces, for the purpose of securing a defined, and, we will presume, an equitable exercise of the elective franchise under those provisions ; but whilst we feel bound to yield to the equitable principle of the reform bill, as a means of security against improper voting, it is quite another thing to submit to the infraction of that principle, which certain defects and imperfections in the letter of this new charter,of elections throw open to the selfish and ambitious, as well as!to those who are, avow edly, the enemies of the triiiijfk . -,: 41 6 m ixed .a. balanced form of governmenti:esi l i.j i ,iter• petualliacts as a check to the impure rising 'Of -hidliiidUal interests . or the undue pressure of associated bodies,.operatingagainst the executive power in the state at'cinelliae;andragainst the legislative authority at another. We can hardly conceive that Lord Grey, who, notwith standing his emphatically declared respect for his order, and his desire to' preserve it, shrunk back, apprently, from the momentum of his own creation with horror, and left the vessel of the state to flounder, and to be tossed on the billows of that agitation which he had himself mainly created, could still have contemplated the distinc • ti6n of a balance of power under the working of the ma chinery of the ref o rm bill ; hut, on the contrary, g i v i ng him full credit for sincerity, in his various declar a ti ons , whilst disputing the prudence of his policy, the general tone of all his speeches goes to establish the desire be entertained of securing the equipoise of power in the state, but regulated by a theory of new principles, in themselves difficult to comprehend, and still more diffi cult to regulate practically. It is of this theory of new principles in the objects and working of our representa tive system that the whig and radical parties have availed STANDARD. themselves, each for their own peculiar object, whilst the Irish papal party have dovetailed in, under the hope of its proving to them the stepping-stone to that ultimate system of absolutism which is alone compatible with the supremacy of the church of Rome. In these hopes the three distinct parties met considerable encouragement, from the early apathy, and want of concert, on the part of the old tory or conservative party in the country — from that party having become divided in confidence and co-operation by the passing of the catholic relief bill, and from the want of a leader, to whom both sections of that new united powerful body could look up to with full con fiding security. The driving of Sir Robert Peel from office has, nevertheless, indirectly been productive of a national benefit, although . not viewed so by many other wise intelligent politicians; but, when we know that it has been the means of reuniting this powerful party, ex necessitate rei, for the salvation of the" state itself, we are fully justified in asserting, that the forced retirement of Sir Robert has proved a national blessing; and were it only to be proved by the concord of conservative asso ciation, that in itself is a sufficient evidence of the benefit which will ultimately arise for the constitutional cause, although not, in the remotest degree. contemplated by the whig and radical factions in their Lichfield home treaty. The compact entered into on this occasion has enabled the lowest section of the whigs, in talent and estimation, to set up a purely conventional form of go vernment, to which the other factions have adhered hi therto for objects merely selfish ; for nationality of prin ciple was entirely with them out of the question, and one faction is already on the point of breaking with its juste millieu associates, holding the reigns of government, be cause its destructive designs are not carried forward vi et arinis. We will here borrow the words of our shrewd contemporary of the Times, who, in Thursday's number, illustrating to the Romish priests of lieland the strength of Mr. Macdonnell's arguMents, places the whigs, and their confederates„ in a pitiable dilemma. " But." says the Times " the whigs are well repaid for th e i r disgraceful profligacy. it was their ill humour, murmurings, and threats, against the Peer s , w hi c h encourage d the democrats and revolutionists to clamour for, and insist ;upon, the virtual abolition of that assembly. " Of these assailants there are three sections : " I The Irish papists, who have experienced from the House of Lords the most determined resistance to the restoration of the popish supremacy. " 2 The political dissenters of Great Britain, who feel tha t the Protestant Church, which they abhor, has its surest pro tector in the upper House of Parliament. "3 The republican and democratic movement, as a whole, which detests the Peerage, both as in itself, an aristocratic in stitution, and as a firm defence of all the various principles, and attributes of the British monarchy." If our readers will refer to our latter articles on this very subject, they will find the same opinions expressed, and only varied in form ; for there cannot be two opinions, amongst reflecting minds, unshackled, by one or other of these anti-English and anti-constitutional confederacies, on the point; but the concise form in which cur contemporary has placed the question, affords, in . our judgMent, a sufficient apology for our again press ing it upon the attention of every man, who has an in terest in the - preservition of constituted law, and who, as a being of ordinary prudence, would deprecate perpetual Change, and perpetual innovation. We hive shown forth the triple power arrayed against the British Constitutional Monarchy, and as such against the virtual independence of every man living under that Monarchy, —aye, even of those very infatuated beings labouring for its destruction ! 'What, then, is the duty of Englishmen ? Will they remain passive spectators of the nefarious triumph of their associated enemy, and thus perform a suicidal act against their own liberty ? Will they deprive themselves. or allow others, by their arts and stratagems,. to deprive them of their fair elec toral privilege, under this very Bill ? Will they allow their own mighty English interests to be superseded by the agency of one man, in the Irish legislation, and by means of his bribery rent, without a fair exertion and competition ? These are questions we wish our Coun trymen, who have not yet bestirred themselves to serious ly ponder and act upon. If they had any doubts before of the necessity for active individual exertion let the developement which has been made at Birmingham rouse them to exertion. The disclosures made at that great meeting, abundantly prove that no man is justified in depending on his neighbour's exertion,--that each and every one should be his own agent, in a struggle where the grave interests of all are involved. At the period of general excitement, and when the delusion of the public mind assisted in pressing forward an object of presumed national benefit, it did not appear to have been contemplated by reflecting minds, that this measure of reformation would be made the means in the hands of designing men , of unhinging the entire framework of our political system; but, on the contrary, it was received by thousands as the settlement of a great question, upon the representations and declarations of its leading advocates,—whilst by far the most dangerous partiei in the state, it was, avowedly, received as a means to an end—rendered the stalking horse of . a faction, whose aim has been that of acquiring and maintaining power, at the sacrifice of every sound principle,—with another faction, viewed as the causeway to an ulterior object of a still more desperate character! Thus many of the best intentioned men in this kingdom rushed to the goal of reform, without for a moment contemplating, that they were propelling the machinery of our oligarchy, or collecting the materials that must eventually revo- lutionise the State and render Reform itself a bye-word and a mockery for the reflection of future ages. For what-else can we understand from the insensate succeed- tug cries of Reformed Law—Reformed Church—and Reformed Peerage ? Do not these cries emanate from those who are enemies to Law—to Church—and to Restrictive Government ? Are we to confide the re formation of our well-known laws to seditious partizans —our Protestant securities to infidels, and dissenting enemies, or our Peerage to anarchists and republicans, merely becauie a few weak-minded individuals in high station and in our extended society, have been foolish enough . to lend themselves to these delusions ? Away with the assumption, that the graver mind of England is o be tampered with any longer,—the delusive mask as sumed by our combined enemies has been torn from the face of their design, and we can see and reflect on the black and 'dreary character of its objects, its features, of. social disnremberment,—and_ no man who truly loves his country will any longer identify himself therewith; nor can any man who reflects, that this is a Christian country, whose laws have for ages been regulated, nay, built on Christian principles, desert his duty to his God, or his duty to his own conscience, aid the wild current of destruction after the ample warning which has been afforded him. The voice of protestant England resounds in our ears; every post brings us intelligence of some glorious ac- cession to that cordon of conservatism now forming around the altar and the throne—Suffolk and Caithness, Glasgow and Cornwall; nor will our borough of Liver . pool allow her honour—the honour of Lancashire—to be sullied in the comparison. Let us compare Suffolk with Waterford—Birmingham with Wicklow—our own con templated gathering with the "justice association.' We d invidious distinction's; th e y are not o f our isclara creation; i but the hereditary freemen of Liverpool are preparing to record by their p u bli c ver di ct t h e i r sense o f tliat injustice which is contemplated by those who have g iven the word of promise to the ear, but broke it to h o p e ," and bartered their own i n d epen d ence w hil e a to wield the destini es o f a c hi va l rous nat i on thatasri :h l :world itself could not humble into submission. Wh a t a paradox compared with him, who, " Had he but liv'd, through storm of power, A watchman on the lonely tower, His thrilling trump had roused the land When fraud or danger were at hand• By him, as by a beacon's light, Our pilots had kept course aright: Like some proud column, though alone, His strength had propp'd the tottering throne !" But we need not now take up the remainder of the beautiful stanza, for the " trumpet's silver sound is no longer still," nor "the warder silent on the hill:" he has dropt his mantle on a congenial spirit, and ere many days its notes may be expected to strike through an other thousand English hearts of oak, re-echoing the sentiments which Sir George Sinclair so recently pro claimed at Caithness. And here let us impress upon our readers the speech of this gentleman, which in force of elocution and power of reasoning has not been surpassed, if equalled, by any which has been delivered on the po licy and condition of the Whig ministry since the close'of the session. It gives at once a triumphant refutation of the fallacious folly of Wicklow and the splenetic falsehoods of Waterford—a justification of his own parliamentary conduct—a vindication of the Peel administration, and a complete exposition of the unprincipled quality of the ministerial policy towards the Irish protestant church. Whilst Caithness displays its constitutional fervour by welcoming Sir George Sinclair to his ancestral home; with a long and splendid train and a public dinner, Suffolk pours forth her hundreds —neither rain nor winds prevent six hundred gentlemen and opulent farmers from attending their conservative feast. Here we find Lord Illeniker surrounded by nearly all the rank and re spectability of the county, whilst the speech of every gentleulari who addressed the assembled company-in de fence of the House of Lords is responded to with cordial enthusiasm. Nor must we forget Stroud, the refuge of Lord John Russell, but which disclaims the proprietor ship, and declines the honour of having his little lord ship as her protege an hour longer than she can, with decency, eject him in his present truly unprovided COD: dition. We thus sum up, for the amusement of our con stitutional friends, these active demonstrations on behalf of the cause with which we deem it an honour to be identified. We again repeat that the nefarious opposition to Sir Robert" Peel has placed that gifted statesman in. the most independent position it is possible for an English commoner to enjoy—he has the power of preservation within his own hands, without the responsibility of office —he is enabled to wield with terrible effect the choicest principle of the British constitution—he: thoroughly understands the remaining strength of that power which even the reform bill, despite the arts of the designing, has not entirely destroyed, but paralysed for the moment ;` and, whilst we render to the Lords and to their talented reader the homage which is due to patriotism and sound judgment, we must not forget, the conservative peers having dome their puty, that the interests of this country, under the constitution and the reform bill itself, must be sustained, in the first place, by individual exertion amongst the people, as electors, by their taking care that the elected are men of probity and discrimination. suited to the crisis of events. Yielding, therefore, " merit to whom merit is due," we nevertheless main tain that the preservation of the glory and independence of this Christian country, politically considered, depends upon the continuance of a determined, well understood, and virtuous opposition to the House of Commons. We feel that, we should be deficient in the duty and loyalty which we owe and most sincerely entertain to wards the person and virtues of our illustrious protestant Queen did we not on this occasion, in an especial man. ner, record our grateful sense of that beneficent kindness . which has prompted her Majesty to identify her royal . name, her interest, and the best wishes of her heart with the success of our protestant schools. \Ve are not the mere panegyrists of 'tank and station, even the most ele vated in this land, for the mere sake of panegyric. Entertaining a becoming share of veneration towards the Queen of England in tier elevated station, we yet view pre-eminently the more exalted situation she fills without ostentation as the " nursing mother " of our church in " this our day and generation," and tender to her Majesty accordingly the unaffected homage of respect, certain, as we are, that it will he most gratifying to her Majesty, when she learns that her munificent condescen sion and example has been mainly instrumental in realizing the object so long sought for with regard to the fund necessary for the completion of the school of St. John the Baptist, at Toxteth-park. It is not merely the intrinsic value of the present of her own work, made by a Queen of England, to this object, although that present alone produced one hundred pounds; but it is the happy association of her name and her influence with that object, to which we attach real and merited import ance; and unworthy indeed would the LIVERPOOL STAti- DARD be of its high patronage- 7 its identity_ of interest with the sacred cause of our " Church and. King," did it pass a merely silent vote of commendation upon such an occasion. These are the progressive triumphs of chris tianity which, on a former occasion, were declared 'by us to be the peculiar gems of Britain's classic isle—the liv ing monuments of that gospel dominion upon earth which is but the prelude to an eternity of rest and heavenly possession. In furthering the cause of protestantism in the state, we disclaim all and every feeling of perinnal ambition or mercenaty advantage; we look for our re- ward to a source far beyond the reach of temporal favour, however gratifying we may feel the approbation tendered to us for our humble labours in the support of religious truth and christian government. Ours is the tribute •of rational devotion; and in the name of the clergy, the whole p , otestant community of Liverpool, and of the thousands of its infant population, who will lisp her name in accents of grateful remembrance whilst they rise up wards to maturity, we tender, with all respectful consi deration, to our christian Queen our heartfelt thanks. It is impossible for us, notwithstanding the crowded state of our columns, to pass over without a special notice, the assem blage of rank, wealth, and respectability, which wo may fairly pronounce to be the triumph of the constitutional cause in the opulent county of Hereford. Our friendly correspondent as sures us, that this dinner meeting was one of the proudest dis-• plays of._ devoted loyalty—steady patriotism—and christian decorum, which can pos , ibly be imagined, - and certainly a fest i • val which, in unanimity of pbrpose, has not been surpassed at any BIM • ilar demonstration in the kingdom. In the unavoidable, absense of Lord Eastnor, who bad met with an accident, the chair was taken by the high-spirited and inflexible advocate of protestantisin, Sir Edwin Scudamore Stanhope, Bart., and- be. was surrounded by a galaxy composed of the rank, wealth, anti respectability of the county, including the venerable Earl Somers, the Lord-lieutenant, Viscount Hereford, Sir J. Cot terel, Brirt., Sir Hungerford Hoskins, Bart., the Hon. and Rev. Somers Cocks, several ,members of parliament, gentlemen of property, Duval and military officers, clergymen, and a most. harmonious band of English hearts, amounting to upwards of , seven hundred ! Who will now dare to attempt a contradictiOn . of our assertion, that " the shrilling blast of the constitutional trumpet sounded at cur Newton dinner, would reverberate through the length and breadth of the land ? " We may be justly proud, that the constitutional standard was first displayed with anything like effect in this county ; and from that hour has conservatism made rapid strides---it; march ham been or derly and cheering in the progress, unaccompanied with cianamir, whilst it has produced that feeling of concord in design, and that unanimity in purpose, which has been unknown since the burst of the revolutionary war, as regards our home policy; and we niay say, without a parallel, since the days of William the third. At the recent dinner at Hereford, the first to commemorate the uprising of tie cause in that county, the most enthusiastic _ _ feeling of devotional attachment to the cause of church au.d state, pervaded the entire company ; and the speeches of the chairman.and Earl Somers were listened to with the most prO found attention ; those parts which exposed the nefarious policy and dangerous proceedings of the present government, whilst its professions of attachment to the protestant church and cause denied the value and sincerity of its acts, produced a deep lin pression ; and an. immediate friend, who was present at the dinner, and who is rather a whig than a tory in principle, de- scribes the enthusiasm at the vindication of the conservative majority of the nouse of P e ers to h a ve been deep and effective ; for this dinner was remarkable for the determined •and old English-like dignity of its entire proceedings. It is with re gret, that we are compelled to curtail any portion of what passed. We are assured, that upwards of two hundred more tickets would have been sold—the first .issue was five hundred; and the second, one hundred and fifty ; but no accommodation could be found for more! Here is a stimulus if we wanted one. Four or five additional constitutional dinners are announced in various parts for this and the ensuing week. The men of West Kent purpose giving their highly-spirited, patriotic mem ber, Sir Williaru Geary, a public dinner at Maidstone. Pre parations for the accommodation of one thousand persons, are making at this town.• There is something ominous in our number: and we are of opinion that those-naughty creatures, the'" Lan cashire 'Witches," have been performing their enchantments far beyond the verge of their native county—we, however, freely forgive them, for the exercise of their rambling sorcery in this respect, so long as they retain a fair share for home purposes ; for we believe that a special license, or protestant dispensation, was granted them, at Newton, for such constitutional objects. Much bitterness has, we understand, been expressed by some of our " liberal " friends against our last Tuesday's article, in vindication of Lord Lyndhurst, arising out of the acrimoni ous speeches and unfounded imputations upon his lordship's OCT. It 1836. motives and public principles, which 'were sent forth at the great Waterford dinner. 'We cheerfully plead guilty to the • charge of having written warmly in defence of his lordship, because we are perfectly convinced of the falsehood and injus tice of the statements which were Made on that occasion,- - but, if any one or more of the humble :remarks we put forth, for the purpose of rebutting the gross malignity of those state ments, have told keenly on the sensibilities of this nobleman's traducers,—tve say to to them—" qui visit carpere capiat is at once preposterous to imagine, that Lord Lyndhurst, is either the moral or political enemy of Ireland, merely because his enemies chose to torture a word figuretivelY applied by hint to those beings, whom we have slithvis,"by their actions, are the . political and moral aliens of Ireland. The phrase "alien," employed by Lord Lyndhurst, was hypothetically used by hias in the fervour of debate, and deemed, possibly, a fair set-off for the opprobious epithets with which the modest responsible man of Derrynane had honoured the nation of Engliihtnen at vari ous times, and those win) stood forward to defend her interests —and of various parties, in opposition to his liberal preten tions,—there was nothing either " brutal" or " bloody" in the terns applied by the noble leader of the tories ;" but it is in his association., and in his power, that the string rests ; and it is keenly felt by the consciousness, that it was just in its application, connected with the infernal machinery of that system of alienation, which these despots in principle have al ready established, and are labouring to perpetuate in Ireland. Personally, • Lord Lyndhurst needs no defence from our feeble pen ; but we are bound to disabuse the minds even of liberals, and those politically opposed to us, and to do justice to all parties; anel whilst the Morning Chronicle fumes in its frothy declamations against the Quarterly. Beoietv, or its Conductor, for his defence of the Peers generallY, and of Lord Lyndhurst in particular, we nsay as well justify our own position even by anticipation of the woeful assault, rather than tacitly suffer our opponents to sail forth under their flimsy canvass of misrepre 'sentation; unmolested. Under this feeling, we would advise every man who wishes to form a fair estimate of the preten sions o f that eminent individuar",i6, read in Fraser's Ma gazine for the present month, at page 457, the real grounds on which Lord Lyndhurst is the subject of that ire, and the malicious jealous denunciator of Ireland's greatest alien. SN l e, have his- own words in his last letter addressed to Mr. Sharman Crawford, " the accursed Lyndhurst party,"— here is the sore point—it is the power,., not the person, of Lord Lytalherst, that is the object of this men's insatiate revenge ! But %%hat says Miss Moggy Fraser "He is the recognised leader of the most honourable party in what, considered, on public grounds, as a whole, and, without reference to the factions fraction which he opposes, is the noblest body in the world ; and lie owes this lofty station to his own overwhelming talen s.

We give the following particulars relating to the examination of Gomez, the individual who had put the letters into the Post-" }t ' office, the explosion of the-fulminatingibwder in which eaUsetVd such serious injury to Barnard, th e letter-stamper. - Mr. Peacock, on his arrival in London, obtained the assist!' ance of ltuthven, of Bow -street Police-office.

Golden-lane, St. Luke's, where, it appeared, he eventually took up his residence. Baithven, in consequence, ' proceeded to this house on Saturday morning, accompanied by an officer attached to the Postolliee, and doinanded to see Gomez. .They were informed that •he was from home, but was expected to return shortly, and they expressed their intention to wait until he should make his appearance. After having remained some time, Gomez knocked at the door, and immediately on his entering the house they seized him by both hands, so as effectually to prevent all attempts at resistance, a course which appears to have been most fortunate, for, on proceeding to search th e prisoner, th e y f oun d a loaded,, pistol in each of his trousers' pockets, as well as a dirk concealed elsewhere about his person. They proceeded next to examine his pockets minutely, and dis covered a letter in his possession,, the impression on the seal of which was found, on being compared, to , correspond exactly. with th a t on th e two l etters w hi c h were sent from Liverpool, directed to Havannah,, but which had not been forwarded. The • prisoner wa's directly put into aliackney coach, and conveyed to Late-street, where he underwent an- examination before Mr. Minshull. After the examination of-the prisoner, Ruthvsn returned to his lodgings in Benbow-place, and brought away a very heavy box, which it appeared. had belonged to him — He obtained a key alio, which, on his reaching the office, he found fitted the lock, to external. appearance. On its being in-. traduced, however, it was discovered to have no effect on the bolt of the lock, which,it did not turn.. Two smiths were in consequence sent for, and after considerable exertion they suc ceeded in forcing open the lid; they then found that it had been firmly held down by strong iron bars. -On an examina tion of the contents of the box, a dagger with a cross handle 'was found, of a very curious constructioit - The blade was clasped, and it was not until some ingenuity had been em ployed that it could he opened.. Therewas also a smaller box , found, which the officers deemed it hazardous to open, as they thought it probably might contain fulminating silver or gold, the composition which, it was supposed, had exploded on the' stamping of the letters. The box was then reclosed and sealed, in order that its contents may be safely preserved, and that no mischief could..possibly result. In addition to the articles men tioned above, there were found in the prisoner's trunk copies of the letters which exploded; also, a blunderbuss loaded with eighteen balls. The prisoner evinced great obstinacy, and • refused to give any account of the crime with which he was charged. When shown the lock which had been torn off the trunk, he appeared much annoyed, saying that he gave sixteen . dollars for it. He was remanded forlfurther . examination till. Monday. On Monday. he was re-examined, an interpreter being Tiro- cured. A good deal of- evidence was given, which tended to. , prove that Gomez was the criminal. In this box was found a letter, not loaded, to• the Governor of Havannah, _demanding 1500 dollars. He could give no intelligible reason for demand ing. that sum; but told a foolish story about his life having been .„ attempted by the father of a lady in the Havannah, with whom H 2. he had been in love. The handwriting of. this epistle corre- ,y 4 sponded with that in the loaded letters. Several other letters addressed to persons in Matanzas and Trinidad were found his box. He was again remanded till Thursday next. CIIA RITA TILE DONATION.—We are requested to apprise "A • Friend to the Caledonian Free School," who sent £5 by by pest, under cover, addressed to the Rev.
