MIDDLEWOOD' S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR j M. respectfully solicits a trial of this ines 'finable Oil, J • where its efficacy is not known. It is tronised by families of distinction, and held in high es mation at the Toilet. It has been proved, by many expel.' ..ents, in restor ing the Hair, when every other applicatio has failed ; and when the Hair is on the decline, or b• . , 'ming grey, it reno vates and produces its original lustre. The Proprietor's TREATISE ON HAIR, sold at ld. each, contains testimonials of the efficacy of the Botanic Oil ; and also, interesting remarks upon the growth and preserva tion of the human hair. By a Medical Gentleman in Dublin. ..... In answer to inquiries, J. M. respectfully informs his Friends and the Public he is making arrangements which will insure to the Public the Genuine Botanic Oil in all parts of the Kingdom in its pure and unadulterated state ; and should any doubts exist of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, the Proprietor refers them to the decision of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the testimonials proved before Parlia ment on the 10th April, 1830. J. M. also wishes to apprise the Public of various attempts to suppress the sale of the Botanic Oil, not by competition, but by secret means. Ven dors throughout the Kingdom were cautioned against selling Middlewood's Soap and Oil, as it was subject to Medicine Duty ; and informations were laid against the Proprietor. J. M. acknowledges the informations, at two distant periods, each penalty £5O ; but in case the Proprietor had sold the above illegally, it proves the article superior to anything sold avowedly for the same use, as no similar article was ever charged with duty. J. M. will for the present offer no com ments ; the proceedings adopted to suppress the sale is the best possible recommendation ; and so well satisfied is go vernment of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, that no further interruption will be given to the sale of the Botanic Oil apd Vegetable Soap, which will be found of more exten sive sale than any other similar articles. J. M. has substituted Pot Boxes in lieu of Bottles, as more convenient; the present reduced price is 25., 3s. fid., 55., and in Bottles, for the Toilet, 10s. Wholesale and Export Orders on the shortest notice. J . M. will engage that, where the Botanic Oil is used, either in Public Seminaries or Families, the hair and scalp shall never be infected with any cutaneous disease, as ring , worm, &c. Scc., such is its emolient properties. Orders, with references or remittances addressed to J. MIDDLEWOOD , PARKER-STREET, LIVE/U.OOl, will duly forwarded, with custom ary allowances.

MADDOCK and SON, G 4, South Castle-street. CONSERVATIVE CONVERSIONS Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, who in the late parliament sat on the ministerial benches, has become so disgusted with " libe ral" trickery, that he has now avowed that he can support the measures of the whigs no longer, and on the occasion of his re-election for the county of Glamorgan last week, he declared in the most full and honourable manner that he shall in future give his support to the conservative party in the House of Commons. Another similar instance is that of Mr. Benett, of Wiltshire ; on his nomination, he said that " his opinion then was, that the present party having been so long in power, and being unable to carry out any beneficial measures for the public, they ought to leave their places, and he had therefore voted against them on a late occasion. They had changed, not him." And at the Sheriff's dinner, given at the time of the election, this re spectable gentleman was still more explicit. " They wanted, he observed, a steady and efficient government—a govern ment having for its object the good of the country, and not the maintenance of place, devoid of power. He had been challenged by the liberal party with having deserted them ; but his reply had been No, it is you who have deserted me ; you have disgraced the name of whig '—and so they had. The country wanted rest, which he hoped it would obtain under the new government—and he hoped no minis try would attempt to keep in power by attaching themselves to an agitating and revolutionary party merely for the sake of numerical strength—to enable them to cling to place. Respecting his last vote in the House of Commons, minis terial gentlemen had taunted him with that opposition to ministers, on his part, who had so long supported them—the only opposition be had previously given them being against a few of their measures ; whereas, his vote on that last occa sion militated most seriously against them. His reply was, that he had no longer any confidence in the ministry ; and what could he say to his constituents if he staid away and did not conscientiously do his duty ? He did vote, and that vote was a conscientious one, and that vote was against the ministry. He hoped that Sir Robert Peel, and the party about to come into power, would cause England to be, what she really should be, the first country in the world ; and un der their guidance may she again flourish." These are the sentiments not only of Mr. Benett, but of many gentlemen who have just been returned to parliament, and who have hitherto been regarded as of the whig party. There is rea son also to believe that the election of Mr. Heathcote for the county of Rutland is mainly to be ascribed to the con viction entertained by the loyal and patriotic constituency of that county that his sentiments are entirely similar to those just quoted.

BIRMINGHAM ELECTION.—It is now credibly asserted by parties who have means of ascertaining the fact, that there were as many as 300 bad votes polled at the late election for the sitting members, Messrs. Muntz and Scholefield, which, when struck off, as they infallibly will be, by a select com mittee of the House of Commons, will place Mr. Richard Spooner, the conservative candidate, in a majority of 160 votes. It is currently reported, however, that Mr. Schole. field, fearful of the immense expense attendant upon a pro tracted scrutiny, will apply for the Chiltern Hundreds, in which contingency of course Mr. Spooner will be elected without opposition. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—On Thursday night, about seven o'clock, two children were observed playing in one of the re cesses on London-bridge, when the eldest doy, about 6 years old, climbed on the parapet, and leaning forward to see a steamer that was passing under, the little fellow lost his ba lance and fell over. The greatest consternation prevailed amongst the persons who witnessed the accident, when, upon going to the spot, it was discovered that the boy was lying on the top of the cornice, which fortunately was very wide. The anxiety that prevailed was speedily relieved by a working man named Green, residing in the New Kent-road, who in stantly got over the parapet, and rescued the child from his perilous situation. Such of Lord Fortescue's tradesmen as refused—acting upon his Excellency's own declaration—to vote for Mr. O'Connell, the advocate for repeal at the late city election, and exercised their franchise upon constitutional principles, were this day dismissed. Some of Mr. Pooley's (the Comp troller's) circulars, requiring the accounts to be furnished before eleven o'clock, have been left at our office. This is brave, generous, just, and, above all—consistent. But a day of retribution is at hand.—Dublin Evening Mail. CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.—The Institute of Missions in Berlin has received tidings of the celebrated German mis sionary Gutzlaff, dated from Pekin, the 20th of November last. At that period he was aided in his apostolic labours by 17 Chinese (to whom six others were shortly to be added) who, having learned Christianity from him, and embraced its tenets, were serving their noviciate as missionaries. Two of his pupils, of Japan origin, were teaching Christianity to their countrymen and to the Chinese, at Macao ; and his two nieces, resident also in the latter place, had converted upwards of 140 Chinese women, all belonging to the higher classes. Here Gutzlaff has addressed to the Missionaries' Institute 33 volumes in the Chinese tongue, containing works relating to the Christian worship, printed at Pekin, Canton, and other cities of China; and the Royal Library of Berlin has received from him manuscript copies of nine very rare Chinese works, giving the description of a great num ber of monuments anciently existing in the celestial Empire, but of which few or no traces now remain. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT AN ICE-HOUSE.—A MAN BURIED ALlVE.—Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, an accident of a frightful nature, and by Iv hich a man, named Giles, lost his life, occurred in the ice well of Messrs. Rhodes, the extensive ice merchants, of Hackney road. At the time above stated, the deceased, with other men in the same employ, were down the well at work dig ging out the ice for the purpose of loading some carts which were waiting. The well is entered by a door at the bottom, the ice being above it, and the men, when any ice is wanted, are obliged to cut it from the bottom, working their way further in as the stock decreases ; by this a great excavation is made into the middle of the ice, and in several parts they are able to proceed a great distance. The deceased and three men were at work under one of these places when the whole of it fell in. The deceased's companions escaped in the most miraculous manner, but he, being further in the place than they were, was buried under the fallen mass, which weighed several tons. The fall was so sudden that another of the men nearly shared the same fate. As soon as their fright was over they set to work in digging the de ceased out, but 20 minutes elapsed before they came to him. —London Time: of Friday. IMPROVEMENT IN COMPASSES. — We mentioned some weeks ago that our vicar was in London. We have since learned, that Dr. Scoresby went to town on the invitation of a scientific clerical friend, and under arrangements made by him, for the purpose of endeavouring to apply to the benefit of the public service his recent important discovery in im proving magnetical instruments. It is well known that the compasses at present in use both in the navy and merchant service—instruments on which life and property are con stantly dependent, and to the defects in which many calami ties at sea are clearly traceable—are exceedingly defective, and many of them disgraceful to the existing state of science; but Dr. Scoresby's discoveries at once raise the power of these instruments, on an average nearly threefold, besides rendering them, unlike the evanescent quality of ordinary compasses, almost unchangeable. In fact these disoveries render a previously bad and uncertain instrument, so perfect and certain, that it would be unpardonable neglect with the use of Dr. S.'s simple and unerring test, ever to issue a de fective instrument. The subject of these investigations, which every true patriot in an insular and a commercial coun try like our own, must regard as of the greatest national im portance, Dr. Scoresby brought before the Royal Institution and the United Service Club. And so highly have his com munications been esteemed by the latter distinguished body of officers, that a vote of thanks has been conveyed to Dr. S. from their council, accompanied by a diploma conferring the distinction of honorary member of that society. During his stay in London, we are informed that Dr..Scoresby, i n company with the clerical friend already alluded to, had th e honour of an interview with Prince Albert at Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of communicating to his royal high ness these important discoveries. The prince entered with much interest and intelligence into the subject, and, during a series of demonstrations and explanations, which occupied a considerable time, gave his most fixed attention, making various striking observations on the subject, and repeating several of the experiments with his own hands.—Bradfo r d Observer.

THE GREAT AGRICULTURAL MEETING. STAMPED SUPPLEMENT WITH THE STANDARD To meet the wishes of many of the readers of the STANDARD, the Proprietors have determined upon presenting to their subscribers, and the purchasers of the paper, on FRIDAY, July 23d, a STAMPED SUPPLEMENT of Fourteen Columns, detailing, at the utmost possible length, and with the greatest accuracy and care, the whole of the proceedings of the week during the great epoch in the annals of agri culture. Every ;neeting will be reported most fully, and all incidents worth recording will be noticed. The STANDARD Supplement of this day will therefore afford a pleasing and faithful chronicle of an event which is causing great attention amongst those who are connected with the landed and farming interests, and it will prove useful as a reference at a future period. Persons at a distance requiring the STAN DARD on that day are requested to intimate their wish as soon as possible. To prevent disappointment, it is suggested that the amount for the paper, 5d., be remitted in postage stamps, in which case the applica tion will be duly attended to. The Country Agents will oblige us by information, as early as possible, as to the number of papers they will require. To Advertisers, this opportunity of disseminating their addresses ought not to be lost sight of, especially all those who wish the attention of the agricultural in terests to be drawn to them. REGISTER ! REGISTER ! ! REGISTER ! ! ! THIS IS THE LAST DAY FOR THE PAYMENT OF RATES THE ELECTORS FOR BOROUGHS who live in £lO houses will be struck off the list of voters unless they pay, THIS DAY, all poor-rates and window-taxes due prior to the 6th April, 1841. COUNTY VOTERS who are not already registered, or who have changed their places of abode since last July, must THIS DAY send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated, their claims to vote, which must contain a description of their places of residence, the nature of the qualifica tion, and its situation, or the tenant's name; they must also send with each claim a shilling. 14'e again call most earnestly on all friends of their country to lose no time in attending to these necessary preliminaries for securing the exercise of their fran chise. Not an hour should be lost. TO CORRESPONDENTS The notice of Mr. Taylor's removal, which appeared in our last, ought not to have appeared, having substituted by mistake his advertisement for that of another person. Mr. Taylor, we are requested to state, is about removing to Norton-street, at which place he will continue his practice. Much misunderstanding, we fear, exists as to the proceed ings of the Agricultural Society during the present week, and we have therefore been at considerable trouble in collecting all the particulars in our power relative to this important and interesting event, which will be found detailed at length in the STANDARD of to-day. We have made arrangements for giving a full report of the great dinner of the members of the society on Thursday, to gether with every incident connected with the show of cattle and implements on the same day, and every occur rence on any preceding day. The STANDARD of Friday, with the Supplement, will, therefore, contain every par ticular worth recording of an event which has been looked forward to so long and with so much anxiety. tfit Etinrpoal otanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JILLY 20, 1841. The war of class interests, so shamefully excited by an expiring ministry for their own sordid purposes, is over for the present, and has terminated in an utter frustration of all their sinister expectations. The peo ple, taken as one body, have wisely determined that BRITISH AGRICULTURE is in the highest degree worthy of protection, and shall be protected at all ha zards. The assertion of this great and fundamental proposition is not, really, a petty triumph gained by one portion of the people at the expense of another; but a declaration opportunely re-stated and esta blished for the common benefit of the entire community. We are fortunately situated in this great town for forming a disinterested and impar tial judgment on the question. Our advantage is not connected exclusively with either one or the other of the two great classes supposed to have come more immediately into collision. If we have os tansibly a nearer affinity with either, it is the manufac turing; and if we have given a judgment which ap pears to be against that class, it ought to be received with the greater deference on this account. We are far from denying that there was a temptation held out by the advocates of free trade. They talked of in creasing manufactures; and in this, as the'greatest im porters of cotton in the kingdom, and second only to the capital a$ merchant; generally, tee had neccaaarily very large intereat, They proposed the establishment of a constant and regular trade in foreign corn ; and it is obvious that in such an extension of trade, if it could be safely obtained, we must have felt also a very lively concern. But our decision has been against these apparent advantages. We were induced to look a little beyond the surface, and we came to the con clusion that no project which would put the AGRICUL TURE of the kingdom in jeopardy ought to be listened to ; that this was a subject that would not admit of being trifled with ; and that our birthright as English men must not he hazarded for a mess of pottage, how ever ingeniously it might be prepared or seductive it might seem. In forming this opinion we placed our selves out of the strife of mere class interests, and en deavoured to feel only as Britons, and to identify our prosperity with that of the entire kingdom. And it is an opinion which, we trust, will grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength. Manufactures are subject to a thousand accidents. The fashions of cotton and silk, of knives, forks, and dishes, may change ; but man will never cease to eat or to require food while there is breath in his body. Manufactures are highly to be prized, - but our inde pendence as a nation is still more so ; and without our agriculture where would that independence be ? The wealth of the world has fled from the Italian cities ; but the cultivation of the plain of Lombardy at this moment never was surpassed : all the pendants of Eu rope are no longer to be seen on the banks of the Scheldt; but the fields of Flanders still flourish in un diminished fertility. It is in the transference of mer cantile wealth to agricultural industry, and the rapid absorption even of the greatest manufacturing popula tion in the labours of the field, that the real security, in an advanced state of civilisation, against the de struction of commercial prosperity, is to be found. Vast and overgrown as is the present manufacturing population of Great Britain, says an intelligent obser ver, the experience of former states which have under gone similar vicissitudes warrants the hope that it could be absorbed in a very short time, and permanently and comfortably :maintained in the labours of the field. The single alteration of substituting the kitchen-garden husbandry of Flanders in our plains, and the terraced culture of Tuscany in our bills, for the present system of agricultural management, would at once double the produce of the British islands, and procure ample subsistance for twice the number of its present inhabit ants. Neither Athens, nor Carthage, nor Geneva, nor Venice, nor Holland, he adds, had thirty millions of inhabitants in their land territory : a nation pos sessing such a power, especially when enjoying the advantages of an insular situation, is, except from the decry of military virtue in its own people, invinci ble. Japan is a country of nearly the extent and about the population of the British islands : it has neither foreign trade nor maritine powers ; and it has long been the object of covetous desire to the Chinese government, which possesses ten times its population and'resources. Buf Japan still maintains its indepen dence, and has done so inviolate through a succession of ages ; and history has recorded that on one occas sion, when two hundred and fifty thousand Chinese soldiers landed on the Japanese territory to effect their subjugation, not one man returned to tell the tale of slaughter to his country. The cultivation of Japan is conducted entirely by means of little farms, of which each cultivator is the owner ; the whole country resem bles a continued garden ; and in rural labour its im mense population, without any foreign commerce, find ample means of substance. Our inference from these and a thousand other facts and considerations then, is, manufactures if you can, but agriculture at all events ; with this " monopoly,' as some foolish people call it, all our other blessings are connected, and we must preserve it. But our agriculturists must be on the alert. We live in times of rapid change, and rapid movement, and it will not do for this great class alone to slumber, we do not mean merely as to the processes of culture. or to improvements in farming, but as to whatever may conduce to secure or improve their condition generally. That such is not the case, we greatly rejoice to think; have we not at this moment a very striking proof to the contrary, in the immense assemblage of gentlemen from all parts of the kingdom collected in Liverpool this week brought together by a laudable desire to advance the interests of their noble science ? From such meetings in whatever point of view. regarded, we cannot but anticipate great good. Information will be reciprocated—useful knowledge disseminated—sound principles confirmed—and good fellowship promoted. Agriculture must have its league as well as cotton, or mere science ; but unlike the " league " of certain gentlemen not far from us, it will be a league both for the defence and advancement of all that is most dear to Englishmen. The late election returns have shewn how thoroughly conservative our rural constituency is ; but we own this does not satisfy us. Why should there be such a difference—why should there be any difference between the towns and counties ? Radicalism nestles in the towns ; but if the Conservative Aristocracy and landed gentry did their duty, this would not be the case. Their influence would be but in the towns. The Clergy have much in their power; but the Aristocracy have much also by promoting education—Church in struction, the formation of Conservative and Protestant Associations—and,'the dissemination of sound knowledge in every town. We shall have pleasure in return ing to this interesting subject. The Whigs have had Ireland under their care for the last ten years, and it plainly appears, from what has just taken place at the elections, that they have wrought no improvement whatever in the character or feelings of the people. O'Connell h as h a d hi mse lf returned for Meath, putting out Mr. Corbally, a Ro manist, because an anti-repealer. Since his expulsion from Dublin, however, he has turned his thoughts to the county of Cork, and is resolved to abide by his return for that county. Take it as complimentary or otherwise to the great man, we certainly have no hesi tation in admitting the fact, that there are perhaps a dozen seats iu Ireland which he might have for the asking. Now, this we adduce as one proof amongst many, that the Irish masses have undergone no change of opinion within the last ten years, and that they are at this moment as ready as ever to attach themselves to the car of Juggernaut. But the contests which have taken place for counties and boroughs still more strongly develop the fact. Here the priests have swayed them with even more than their accustomed potency; and although they have not been in every instance successful, yet the servility and pliancy of the multitude under their hands was never at any time more conspicuous. Then, to what purpose, we ask, has been the government of the Whigs in Ireland ? They have kept it tranquil; yes, as men would keep a tiger tranquil—by feeding him to excess, and humour ing him in all his savage propensities. Thus a fero cious animal might be kept for a little time tranquil; but it is obvious that no essential change would be made in his character, or improvement in his habits ; and he would be ready as ever, on the slightest provo cation, to " turn again and rend you." Such a pro ceeding is exactly analogous with the policy on which the Whigs have acted in Ireland, and the fruits cor respond precisely with those for which we should look. The Whigs have not only done nothing to break down the power of the priest; and the agitators, but they have, on the contrary, done every thing to strengthen it. The consequence is, that the people have made progress, indeed, but it is only from bad to worse. They have become still more unfit . for liberty. The privileges of freemen are only dangerous weapons in their hands. To talk of extending the elective fran chise in Ireland—of lowering the qualification of voters. Why, it is stark, staring - madness. The rabble of the country are already virtually enfranchised. The rag ged, houseless vagabond, who can wield a shillela or a pike, is, to all intents and purposes, an elector—on the legal principle, that a man actually does that which he gets another to do—qui facit per alium facit per se. The mob who can produce no certificates of registry, because they have never hail any to produce, can yet intimidate, and compel other s who have the misfortune to be privileged in this way, to vote as the priest com mands, and thus enjoy unbounded licence in the elec tion of " tit and proper" persons to serve in parliament for Ireland. It is plain that there is already far too much enfranchisement, and ;the improvement would consist in diminishing, and not in increasing it. 'Me Whigs have been adding strength and efficiency to this vile tyranny of the mob. They have been in league with the great mob idol, and they have been incessantly offering incense to all their other idols ; and these false gods justly reward the base idolatry with which they have been worshipped, by exciting in the people the strongest feelings of hatred towards every other rule, authority, or dominion whatsoever than their own. Sir Robert Peel is reported to have said, on some former occasion, that his "great difficulty was Ire land." It is uncertain, and rather unlikely that the Right Hon. Baronet ever did use the expression ; but if on any former occasion he might have looked upon Ireland as a "difficulty" in the way of his government, certainly the Whigs have been doing all they could to make that difficulty as great as possible up to this hour. They have augmented the power of the priests and enemies of England vastly—they have almost, if not altogether, abaudoned the people to their training; and the fruits are now apparent. Thus is the difficulty of governing Ireland, by Sir Robert Peel or any con stitutional minister who will not play into the hands of O'Connell and the priests, necessarily and most formi-. dably augmented. But though Sir Robert Peel avows himself a " moderate" man, we trust and believe he is a man of sufficient moral courage to do what the exi gences of his situation may at any time demand him. We believe that the Irish " difficulty" will not deter him from acceding to the desire of his Sovereign to form a new administration ; and that, as first Minister under the Crown, he will consult only the dictates of an honest and impartial judgment touching the policy which ought to be pursued in administering the affairs of Ireland in particular. It is the inert, indolent, timid man only who sea. a lion ever in his path ; and it is natural that such a man should gladly enter into a compact with any adventurer or undertaker who would promise to remove the:lion for him. But such, as may be easily supposed, is the very way to keep the lion there. Now, the Romanist population of Ireland are the lion—O'Connell is the undertaker—and, as every body knows, Lord Melbourne is the minister. O'Connell has made a good thing of the lion ; he is the Irish lion-tamer. But he is lion-tamer only to the man that will pay him handsomely for doing the trick; and if any one says he will govern Ireland without his assistance, he swears the lion will eat him up ; for that, although he, Van-O'Connell, the showman, has kept him quiet for a while hack, by almost super-human exertions, yet, that he is a very savage and furious beast still, and quite unmanageable by any body but himself. The difficulty of governing Ireland, like many other difficulties which exist only in the imagination, would vanish before the man who was perfectly resolved to overcome it. The moment it is known that Sir Robert Peel has resolved to dispense with the subsidiary go vernment and deputyship of O'Connell and the Priest party, a new power will start into existence which will go far to counterbalance the loss he may sustain by the promulgation of this fact—and from the very starting post, we do assert, that the Right Hon. Baronet will be just as well able to govern Ireland as Lord Mel bourne, or any other minister who ever did, or would so degrade the authority of the Crown as to enter into a base compact with its most decided enemies. As to all other policy requisite for the government of Ireland, present or future, there is but one principle on which to base it, and that is the principle of bringing the mind of the people into conformity with the principles of the constitution under which they live. All other policy is deceptious and false. The whole and sole object of the priest and repeal parties is to oppose the action of this principle. They stand between the peo ple and the government, and say, this shall not be done. We will educate the people, and train them up in our principles, and then, when they are old, they will not depart from them. This malign and untoward interposition must be removed. The government must obtain access to the people directly, and a wise and good government will make that access work beneficially for just and good principles. The people are the basis—the substratum on which the constitu- tion is built; and if that basis be not sound and good, of what avail will be your building ? The regeneration of Ireland is more than the work of any single ad ministration—it must be the work of time ; but the great work will not have been even begun till this great principle be attended to. We are no advocates for violent changes or precipitate measures ; but we are decided advocates for the adoption of just principles, with whatever moderation, caution, or discretion they may be acted upon. The Conservatives of Carlow have gained a glo rious victory, and DANIEL is beaten again! a thousand thanks to the brave men of Carlow ; they have done themselves immortal honour. Let the siege of Derry live in story—we desire not that it should ever be forgotten, but let not the "apprentice boys" be jea lous—nor let the maiden city think her fame dimi nished—if " Colonel Bruen and the unconquerable men of Carlow," participate henceforth in those bright glories which they have so long and so deservedly en joyed. Colonel Bruen has been the mark above all other men for the combined powers of popery, knavery, conspiracy, treachery, and villainy of every sort. And why ? simply because he refused to truckle to priests and agitators, and would bow down before no image which Daniel O'Connell their king had set up. Colonel Bruen stood alone, and defied all their malice; he has suffered much at their hands, and. has sometimes been worsted in his contests with them, but he never gave up—never yielded to them one inch—never stooped to conciliate them—never abated one atom of his political and religious professions—and never declined to en gage them in open and honourable warfare. The wretches, goaded to madness, at last resolved in one desperate fight, in which no means fair dr foul should be left untried to defeat the gallant colonel—and this is the very fight which has now just come off. The young Daniel O'Connell was put up along with _Mr. Yates, the former nominee of the old borough-monger, and never before were such exertions used, or such courses taken, to carry an election. It would take a volume to describe the acts and outrages, the devices and atrocities perpetrat&d by the priests and their dis ciples to effect this object. The old O'Connell went about to fair and market canvassing, preaching, de nouncing, accompanied by a creature named Steale, who being half a maniac himself, is well calculated to ( 1 .0 the business of dementing others. The priests thundered out anathemas, curses, excommunications, and proscriptions, and a ferocious rabble were drilled to beat, drive, and carry away all who should oppose them ! but we forbear entering upon particulars! suf fice it to say, that nothing which the devil could sug gest to a popish priest to forward the Popes work, was omitted; and that after all their hellish inventions and diabolical doings, their malice was disappointed, their hopes were baffled, and they were comfortably beaten. Daniel the elder fled from the field on the penultimate day of the fight, and thus is the prediction of the honest Carlow journalist literally fulfilled—and Dan is driven further South to look for a seat, not for the younger Daniel indeed but for himself. Colonel Bruen and the Conservative Electors of Carlow are worthy of a statue. Th e y have achieved a glorious victory—an electoral Waterloo that decides the fate of priestcraft and O'Connellism in that county, we trust for ever. Of Colonel Bruen it is impossible that we could speak too highly not only for his constancy in this matter, but as a resident landlord, a consistent politician, and a gentleman in every sense of the word. The steadfast adherence of so large a body of his Roman Catholic tenantry to him, in defiance of the nefarious schemes used to separate them from him, would alone be a sufficient attestation to his generous character as a landlord. As a Conservative, no more need be said to prove his unflinching steadness, then that he is hated by the priests and the demagogues most heartly. We happen to know however that he is a man whose private character is perfectly consistent with his public, and Ivould make hime an acquisition 1d honor to any party. He is a member of the Church of England by profession ; he is by his liber ality, kindness, and never failing charity to all around him, a Christian in every sense of the word in practice. A London contemporary speaks of an important meeting of prelate s w hi c h was held at ' Lambeth Palace, not l ong since, at which he states it was determined, forthwith, to ordain bishops for several of our colonial and other posses sions abroad, for whose maintenance funds are to be raised by subscription. The Church-loving public, we are sure, would be rejoiced to hear of the ordaining and sendipg out of
