FORRIGN INTELLIGENCE. DEFEAT OF GENERAL EVANS. ( From the Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) BEHOBIA, JULY 13.—1 n my letter of yesterday, I stated That Evans had retreated from before Fontarabia and Irun, but little did I then think I should have to record the disgraceful, I may say dishonourable retreat of up wards of six thousand men—the greater part English mercenaries, before a handful of Carlists. It is distres sing to have to make public acts which throw discredit on any nation, and that task is doubly painful to an Englishman, when that nation is England—proud Eng land, justly -merited proud England. Evans has cast a blot on his country, which all the sophistry of his co adjutor, Lord Palmerston, though denying the co-part nership, cannot efface. Well may Lord Minto be con gratulated on the brilliant successes of Evans! Surely this time Evans will not descend to the paltry subterfuge of calling his ill-combined attack " a simple reconnois ance," if he does I warn him, that there are damning proofs against him, aye, proofs in his own hand-writing; independent of which, it is a fact well known, that seve ral traders in St. Sebastian, actually sent a quantity of merchandize and provisions, to Passagas, with money, A file of Montreal papers, to the 22d ult. has been re ceived. They contain the replies of Sir F. B. Head 'to various addresses presented to him, and these are marked with a great degree of firmess. In his answer to the address from the district of To ronto, his excellency states, that he has received up to that moment addresses signei by 25,663 persons, most of whom were yeomen and farmers. He concludes his reply as follows : _ _ " Gentlemen,—My plans and prospects are all contained and pliblished in the instructions which I received from the King. They desire me to correct without partiality, the grievances of this country; and it is because the agitators see I am deter mined to do so that they are endeavowing to obstruct me by every artifice in their power. They declare me to be their ene my, and the truth is, I really am." THE NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTY. (From the Times of Wednesday.) • Another alteration in the bill is the granting a separate stamp-die for each paper. We have already declared ourselves favourable to this, or to any other mode of ob taining exactly how many stamps are taken out for each paper from the Stamp-office, and whether the whole num ber so taken out in the name of each paper is consumed by the paper in the name of which the number is taken out, and not lent or sold to' other papers. We have not made any fuss about the matter, because we have not thought it one of moment. A blackguard morning print in the ministerial interest got Mr. Grote to move the thing formally, and, to use its own words, Mr. Rice has been " ultim4tely obliged to concede the die !" How exeeedinglYiWiPortant ? The plain fact of the case is, that the stir Ole print in question has made about this crotchet of a die, had no other object than to advertise itself ; but we understand that its proprietors are now en deavouring to persuade Mr. Grote to move further, that their die shall bear the impress of their own phizzes.— , We are clearly of opinion that Mr. Rice ought to con cede thein that indulgence if they desire it ; hut we hope he will not agree to any motion by C. Buller that the s ame sort of die should he compulsory on all ; and th besides registering all the proprietors of a paper, its die shall have upon it portraits of thein all. We understand that if Mr. O'Connell had persisted lu his recommenda tion that the writers in newspapers, as well as the pro prietors, should be registered, he intended to have im proved upon the Grote-and-Buller kind of die, by mov ing that likenesses of the writers be also put upon the :Vamp. Perhaps he was deterred by the remonstrances of Lord Palmerston, who is not unlikely to have sug gested how very sorry a figure he should cut as a Cupid, in purls naturalibus, on any conspicuous part of the Globe. _ _ . on the 10th, with instructions to be sent the next (I.;y to Irun, by which time no one doubted Evans would have had possession of that place; but let me lay before you a fair and impartial statement of all that took place on the lamentable 11th and 12th of July. Evans having matured his plan for attacking Fontara bia and Irun on the morning of the 11th, before day break, marched from his positions at the head of 6,500 men, taking the mountain road near to the coast. The Carlists, desirous of attacking the lines of Passages, of fered no resistance to the movement of Evans, who, at - half past six, halted on Mount Esquibel, situated directly behind Fontarabia. At the same time that Evans ad vanced, seven English and Spanish steam-boats and 12 trincadores anchored at the month of Bidassoa, directly opposite to Fontarabia. The trincadores lauded about 150 guerillas on the sands close to the town, and the steam-boats opened a lteavc , cannonading against it. It was now nine o'clock, and Evans, finding that no oppo sition was offered to the 150 guerillas, descended from Mont Guadaloupe, and took possession of the convent of Capncinos, situated at the foot of the mountain, and on the border of an arm of the Badassoa, about. two pistol shots from Fontarabia. At eleven o'clock the English, thinking themselves firmly in possession of the convent, sent out a guerilla party of chapelgorris; the Carlists retreated, and the chapelgorris passed the bridge in front of the convent, and in a direct line front Irun, distant a strong cannon shot. The Carlists at eleven o'clock opened their battery at Irun against the convent, but the shots not telling, they advanced the guns, and several well-directed shots did much havoc. They then sent out 300 guerillas, whilst about 2,000 men, forming the re serve, protected the road and plain leading from Fonta rabia and the convent to Irun. (That which I am now about to relate will appear so incredible that I might, with some plausibility, be accused of exaggeration, were I not fully borne out, not only by the report of eve-wit nesses, such as the French military chiefs, but the Chris tino authorities and the friends of Genetal Evans.) The 300 Carlist guerillas attacked the chapelgorris, and drove them across the bridge; they then advanced on the Eng lish, and, whether the legion was struck with a panic, or a sudden inward movement, they actually fled before the Carlists, and Evans was compelled to sound a retreat. This was effected in something like order, the legion not looking behind till they reached the heights, the Carlists quietly laking up the positions at the foot of the mountain. The question of copyright—that in which the public is most deeply interested, and which is therefore the most important—stands over as a matter of - course. That is the wing mode of doing business. Endeavour to injnre people's property, confine the diffusion to a scale of su perficial inches, bully and try to frighten and annoy ca pitalists, so as to prevent them embarking in the news paper trade, in order that the whole press may be whig radical alike—cheap and nasty—all these suggestions Mr. Rice adopts without a moment's hesitation ; but an act of ,mere justice to individuals, and of papable benefit to the community at large, is a thing which, he says, he finds it exceedingly difficult to achieve. We believe him, During the whole of this time the English and Spanish -steam-boats continued firing on Fontarabia, without doing it the least damage. This probably may be accounted for, from the certainty which Evans felt of getting pos session of that place and Irun, and therefore desirous of not destroying the town. But the most singular part of this inexplicable affair is, that the Carlists never for a moment quitted Fontarabia, and fired on the steam-boats and trincadores from a single piece of cannon, which was all they possessed in Fontarabia. At half-past five the Eng lish had made good their retreat, but not without a con siderable loss of life, principally in a defile at the foot of the Esquibel. lam most credibly informed that the Eng lish and Spanish force was composed of seven battalions of •English, and one battalion of Royal Marines. When were British Marines, ere this period, ever obliged to retreat before an enemy not half their number ! ! one batallion of chapel-gorris, two batallions of Spanish light infantry, two troops of British Lancers—what did Evans want with Lancers in the mountains, unless he fully antici pated getting possession of Irun ?—four howitzers, di rected by the English artillerymen, and thirty horses laden with powder. The reserve, under the command of Jaureguy, did not at any one period of the action descend from the mountain. In the course of the morning 11 Englishmen vs ere made prisoners, and shot at Irun. Thus ended the 11th. At six o'clock on the morning of the 12th the English commenced their retreat, pursued by the Carlists to the village of Passages. 1 cannot do bet ter, in order to continue this narrative, than send you the following copy of a letter received from St. Sebastian:— " St. Sebastian, July 13, 1836. 44 Yesterday, at mid-day, the division of General Evans re turned to Passages. The news was received at St. Sebastian almost instantly, and created a great sensation. It is said, as an excuse for this unfortunate expedition, that General Evans could not disembark his artillery, and that, independent of this, alth3ugh the movement was combined with General Bernelle, who was to have advanced by the Bastan on 'run in the heat of the action, instead of Bernelle making his appear ance, the Carlists received a strong reinforcement from the divi sion of General Garcia. All these are mere on dits—the only fact certain is, that General Evans has been dreadfully beaten, and forced to retreat disgracefully. " 'l'he greater part of the English officers cry Treason' against Cordova; and I am assured that more than 20 intend returning to England. Even General Evans cannot conceal his hatred to Cordova " Already 93 wounded have been brought to this place, amongst whom are Colonel Ross, of the Scotch regiment, and Lieutenant-Colonel Beatson, of the 10th regiment. " The English, on their return from Vontarabia, were not able to yet possession of their outward lines the Carlists, in their absence, having set lire to all the houses and destroyed their works. They were therefore compelled to retreat on their second line, which runs from the convent of St. Francisco to La Herrera, virtually deserting Passages, the Carlists having now possession of the church of Alsa and the fortified positions of Amezagain, commanding the Jesuits' convent. " The English and Spanish troops are greatly discouraged; and what will be the result God only knows. This is a fair statement of the defeat of Evans, and has been the means of lowering the English military character in the eyes of the French army, witnesses of the strange and imcom,irehensible conduct of the member for Westminister. " In a day or two 1 shall, probably, receive the Carlist official reports, oivin. , a detailed account of this—to them--‘ glorious victory.' '' All the steam boats and trincadores have returned to St. Sebastian and Passages. I find by the-Paper of yesterday that the Ministerial Journals attempt to mistifv the authenticity of General Evans's order of the day. I send you here enclosed one of the original "orders of the day," in Spanish, received by Mr. Harvey, his Britannic Majesty's Consul at Bay onne, from the Legion, with instructions to be circulated; for which purpose upwards of 40 copies were sent to him. Colonel Wylde ought to have sent one to Lord Palmerston! I much doubt whether he did not. But as conclusive evi dence against Evans, the order of the day was published in the Bayonne Journals, the Phare and Sentinelle, by order of the Spanish Consul at Bayonne, M. Dourie, and the Journals actually sent to General Evans. Its authen ticity has never been called into question ! General Gomez has succeeded in making good his entry into Galicia, and on the 9th effected his junction with General Lopez, on the borders of that province and Asturias. The following is a copy of an interesting letter receiv ed from Aragon:— " Saragosa, July 9, 1836. "Quilez, with 60(X) infantry and 400 cavalry, is now at Me diana, ono/ four ,leagues from this city.

Our excellent ally, the Carlow Sentinel, states, that " Priest Buggy, of Borris, took his station in a prominent position under the dock, with the prisoner's (Corrigan) agent, and appeared deeply interested in the proceed ings." From the same authority we learn that Priest Maher evinced equal anxiety. We direct the particular attention of our readers to the luminous and highly legal charge of that ornament of the Irish Bench, Baron Sir William Smith, Bart. We hope that a more ample report will be given than has yet appeared. We have yet a question to ask, one arising out of the anomalous and extraordinary character of the times, will Lord Mulgrave remit the execution of the sentence passed upon the vir tual murderers ? We should never have thought of putting the question, but that, since the domination of Whig rule, the abused prerogative of the Crown, the prerogative of mercy, so amiable when worthily exercised, has, in too many cases, defrauded public justice of her rights. THE MEETING AT THE AMPHITHEATRE. The interest, great as it unquestionably was, which the Proceedings of the meeting held at the Amphitheatre on Wednesday week excited in this town, was, we are -happy to say, not confined to Liverpool alone. In Lon don, Edinburgh, Dublin, Bristol, &c., the decision of the meeting was hailed by the conservative press with ex pressions of satisfaction so warm and decided that we can not resist the temptation, although the subject is some what old, of making the following extracts. The first is from the Morning Herald of Monday : " The protestant meeting which took place a few days ago at Liverpool ought to make an important impression upon the impartial and reflecting portion of the public. We are sorry to say that the facts disclosed at that meeting convey a very seri ous and alarming confirmation of that which we have had fre quent occasion' to state, that the change made in the municipal corporationa of England has been abused to the furtherance of violent party animosities, and has thus promoted strife and dis turbance much more than it has served the cause of liberty and justice. " Many of our readers must he aware that the corporation of the town of Liverpool is, and long has been, one of great wealth and importance. Under the old system it was renowned fur the grandeur of its undertakings and the splendour of its hospitality —characteristics which, when not carried to extravagant ex cess, we think not unworthy of a wealthy British town. But the corporation of Liverpool was also characterized by what some called loyalty, and some called toryism; and though we do not mean to say that this political character was in all mat ters upheld with perfect moderation and unsuspected justice, yet in some of the best fruits of such a political character the corporation was not wanting. It sought to provide for the education of the children of the poor, and ni doing so it contemplated instruction in sound religion as an es sential part of the education which was to be given. For the accomplishment of this excellent end it took the rational and the only becoming course fur a public community exercising its trusts under a protestant state. It called in the assistance of the clergy of the established church, which we need scarcely add was readily and zealously afforded. The schools were esta blished, and the religious teaching in them was confided to the church clergy. The institutions prospered, the parents of the children were satisfied, and the children themselves were fur nished, not only with such knowledge as invigorates and ex tends the powers of the understanding, but also with such reli gious precepts and sentiments as are alone sufficient to keep these powers in their place; and cause them to administer to true happiness. " But when, under what was intended to be an improved and reformed system, the new municipal council came into action in the mourn of the old corporation, these schools were not left to pursue the quiet and useful tenor of tl►eir way. An education committee was appointed, and this committee, instead of attend ing to such details as it might very well be capable of attending to with advantage, thought proper to erect itself into an eccle siastical ceusor of the existing system, to take the religious con cerns of the school into its espec►al keeping, to set up its judg ment in opposition to that of the established clergy of the town iu a matter which modest and moderate men would have allowed to be the peculiar province of the clergy, and to ordain that another system of religious education should be acted upon than that which the clergy had set on foot and had assisted in up holding. " It is just possible that there might be some reason for this, of which laymen might he capable of judging, but there is no room left for such a conjecture. It was clearly a party matter, for the system fixed upon in lieu of that which the clergy ap proved, was one, the praises of which have not been recorded ►n any'doeuinent of relinious or ecclesiastical authority, but are to be found in the . political debates of the House of Lords and Commons. Unfortunately there did exist a system, purporting to be a system of religious education, which had become mixed up with the spirit of political strife—which had been the subject of party divisions in parliament, and that system was the one hit upon by this wise and considerate municipal council to supplant the system of the established clergy ! Now we venture to say—suppressing what might be advanced of the indecency of obtruding political and party spirit into religious affairs—we venture to say that, of all things less important than religion, the very last into which such a spirit should force its disturbing way, is the education of the young. Is it not enough that the buSiness, the studies, and the amusements of mature life ; are to be turned from their natural channels, perplexed and distracted by party violence, but must the pure and placid fountain of instruction for the young—must that from which the streams of civilization, of intellectual elevation, and of improved taste, ought to flow throughout society, he made turbid and bitter at its very source by the same accursed agency ? God forbid that it should be so generally,, yet this is what the reformed town council of Liverpool have been doing, and there is reason to fear that the example, though bad, may not be without many imitators. The system which that town council has adopted is the same that is called the " Irish system of scriptural education"—a system which forbids the use of the whole Bible, and substitutes for it certain selections which do not controvert the doctrines of the church of Rome. The adoption of that system in Ireland was the result of a compromise, the justice of which, in a reli gious view of the matter, we shall not here discuss; but it is right to mention that the great majority of the established clergy in England and Ireland, and we may add in Scotland too—pre late and prebendary, rector and curate, are conscientiously op posed to it. The reason of the compromise was this—the Roman catholic clergy, whose power is such that it seems it cannot be resisted in such matters, would nut allow the mass of the children in Ireland to receive any education in schools where the whole Bible was allowed to be read, and it was therefore better to have national schools, with-the Bible excluded, and selections substi tuted for it, than to have schools to which the Roman catholic children could not be suffered to go. " But why should a system adopted from such a necessity be transplanted to this country? Why should religious education in the schools of the corporation of Liverpool be accommodated to the errors or prejudices of the Church of Rome ? There is no cause but this, that it had become a party matter; that the party of the ministers and of Mr. O'Connell had insisted upon the advantage of this system in Ireland, and, therefore, the new town council of Liverpool should show its political spirit and ascendancy by enforcing in its schools the wh►g-radical system of religious education. " The meeting appears to have been very successful, upwards of £2,400 having been subscribed upon the spot. " This is an expensive mode of remedying the evil caused by the funds of the, corporation, and the administration of them having fallen into such bad hands, but we trust it will he suc cessful, and we heartily commend the proper spirit and prompt exertions of the protestants of Liverpool." The next extract we take is from the Edinburgh Even ing Post, a journal which is the principal organ of the Church of Scotland, and possesses the confidence of the great,bulk of its members throughout the entire coun ry " FIRST ATTEMPT IN ENGLAND TO EXCLUDE THE BIELE.— We observe, from our able contemporary, the Liverpool Stan dard, that the reformed corporation of that flourishing city are about to adopt in the schools under their charge the system in troduced into the government schools in Ireland, by which the bible is excluded, and a series of garbled and almost unmeaning extracts, in so far as the spirit and true intent of the holy scrip tures are concerned, substituted in its room. Truly popery is making rapid and determined progress towards that supremacy which undoubtedly it is the tendency of such a measure as that adopted by the reformed town council of Liverpool to establish. " The Liverpool town council are unquestionably assisting the Roman catholics in their fondly cherished project of banish ing the scriptures from the public schools of this country, and thus paving the way, by almost imperceptible degrees, .to the • public repudiation of the hihle as the only true authority in matters of religion. Their plan is to hold up that book as a dangerous book; and, by describing it as a book which ought not to be placed in the hands of children, they hope thus to ac custom the people to disregard it as the essential means of sal vation. Every protestant who has enjoyed what is emphatically called a bible education (and what Scotsman has not ?) will ad mit that his strongest impressions of the importance of the doctrines and truths which it contains were received in early Youth, and thin, without the advantage of having the bible con tinually in school, the mind would have remained comparatively a blank on the subject of religion. The exclusion of the Word of God front our public schools will in our conscientious opi nion produce a nation of free-thinkers, destitute alike of moral and religious feelings, and utterly unable to distinguish or ap preciate the inestimable advantages of christianity. "These remarks may seem exaggerated under the circum stances to which they may be ascribed. It may be said that the Liverpool council are only the Liverpool council, and that what they do can only affect themselves and the town with which they are, we believe, most unworthily connected. lie view the matter differently. Liverpool has obviously been se• lected as the first open field whereon the Roman catholics may most advantageously begin their operations. They hope that the example set by the functionaries of so large and opulent a community will have a most powerful effect upon the the people of Great Britain, and the precedent furnished by the conduct of Liverpool will, they imagine, be cite,: as an argu ment against the free use of the scriptures in every district of the empire. Now we enter our protest against this initial and insidious measure of the reformed corporation of Liverpool: it is a most dangerous and anti-scriptural attempt ; it is an exam ple to be avoided, not followed; and it stamps its abettors as the most audacious and degenerate enemies of protestantism that have appeared in England armed with authority since the days of the second James." - Lastly, we take the following notice from an able con temporary, the Dublin Record, which speaks the senti ments of a large portion of the protestant clergy am laity of Ireland : " The tendency of the corporation reform bill soon displayed itself in Liverpool, where the corporators under the new regime proceeded in their first movements to oppose scriptural educa tion in England and amongst pr?testants,b adoptin g and intro ducing the Board of Education in i qu i ty. rhe protestant meet ing held to consider the propriety and necessity of scriptural education has, we trust, completely baffled th e ungodly effort of the corporation. The speeches delivered at th e meeting will tell through Britain as they told within the walls of the Amphi theatre. We refer to the immense stun of £3,000, collected at the close of the meeting for the furtherance of scriptural educa tion, as an evidence of the effect at once produced by the elo quence and truth of the several speakers." It must be particularly zratifyinv, to the protestants of Liverpool to find their exertions noticed in terms so ex ceedingly favourable in towns of such importance as London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, and in the columns of newspapers too who may fairly be said to represent the opinions of the anti popish, anti-christian, and ant i-so cinian inhabitants of those places. Since the above extracts were made we have received a cupy of the Watchman, London newspaper, which is the leading popular organ of the Wesleyan methodists. The meeting at the Amphitheatre is thus noticed : •' The clergy of Liverpool, and as many others of the reli gious public as rallied around their standard, deserve well of the Protestants of England for the noble stand they have made against the introduction into this country of the Irish system of education. This is another case, which shows bow ripe are the principles of that latitudinarianism, which, reckless of con sequences, takes all creeds alike under its protection. Nor are any so well aware as the Roman catholics themselves, that that is the exact lever, by which the world is to be moved in the advancement of their ambitious claims. Englishmen, however, will never, we trust, submit that the principles of the Reforma tio❑ shall be departed from in any system of education intended for the majority of the children of any town in England. The spirited conduct of Liverpool Protestants iu leaving the corpo ration to their own evil counsels, and instantly establishing a counter system to be supported by voluntary contributions, will not be lost on the country. In actin , on the maxim of obsra principiis' in this instance, they will found, we trust, to have stayed the plague." " Ds LACY confirme, beyond the possibility tan has dismissed the Reis Eifena THE MINISTRY. From the Dublin Evening. "Then comes the tug of war." PERHAPS the better way of commencing a very brief appeal that we are about to make to the Conservative Members will be to show them the efforts that their enemies, and the enemies of the country, are making to rally their forces for the approaching contest, when the point at issue will be nothing short of this—the con tinuance or subversion of the British Constitution : Whitehall, July 16, 1836. " most earnestly request your attendance in the House of Commons on the Ist and 2d of August, when business of great importance may be expected. "`Your obedient servant, "JOHN RUSSELL" The foregoing circular has been addressed by the Leader of the House of Commons to every supporter of Government; while the Whig and Liberal press is loud and unceasing in its call for the presence of members representing its opinions. Shall it be said, that, in this great, perhaps the last struggle the Conservatives may have to make in the cause of liberty and good government, they might have won the battle had the strength of their party been in the field ? No. We will not bring ourselves to imagine that, on this momentous occasion, there will be a single member absent from any other cause than such a visita tion of Providence as that before which all must bow. A good muster and a good division, and the battle is won. MURDER OF THE REV. MR. WALSH. (From the Dublin Warder.) The topic pressing most uporrour observation this week is the trial at the Carlow assizes of the conspirators who sought, by perjury, to swear away the life of an innocent man—Mr. Archibald Sly. In all the course of actual or imagined wickedness by-which the human character proxi mates, to the devilish, never has there occurred anything more hideous and revolting than is disclosed by the evi dence on the trials of the blood-seeking perjurers, Corri gan, Doyle, and Flemming. It will be recollected, at the time of priest Walsh's death, how actively the rest of his fraternity laboured to have it thought the effect of protestant enmity ; they did not calculate on the difficulty of finding any but their own slaves, to believe that protestants can be assassins. Per fiery, however, was more easily to be had as an instru ment of legal murder. It was a crime fashionable and venial—the example of the Irish popish members made it fashionable, the absolution of the priest made it venial, and a system of elaborate well-studied perjury placed a respectable and innocent protestant on his trial for life and death. The pains taken to ensure the sacrifice saved the doomed victim ; the thing was overdone, and besides the internal evidence thus afforded of a deliberate conspi racy, and a schooled evidence well got by heart, Provi dence stretched forth its arm, and by a record of a con stabulary superior proved the constable Corrigan a per jurer. From the moment that Walsh became the victim of habitual drunkenness and was found de"ad on the road, a politico-popish conspiracy against the life of Mr. Sly, because a protestant—perhaps not a compromising one — was concocted, and acted upon. The day the account of Walsh's death arrived in Dublin, a popish journal, in the pay of government, placarded at its office—" The mur der of the Rev. Mr. Walsh, a Roman catholic clergyman, by a gang of orangemen," or to that effect, and the next day the same villainous and factious calumny was pla carded at the mob-assemblage in the Coburg Gardens, and the calumny was echoed by the Popish press through. out Ireland. It would appear as if the blood seeking falsehood had gotten telegraphic currency. The perjury, by which the conspiracy was sought to he supported, was so manifest that Mr. Sly was honourably acquitted, and of course it became the duty of the Law Officers of the Crown to prosecute the perjurers. They were prosecuted on Friday last week, and convicted without hesitation. We must suppose that the necessary proof of conspiracy was wanting, or that the indictment would have . been laid for conspiring against the life of Mr Sly, the penally for which would have been the death which they sought to inflict upon him. The many assassinations which illus trated O'Connell's excitements of the rabble passions, fall short- in turpitude to a murder in which the fiendish di.scples of DenN's 7'heology would have involved, as parties, Judge and Jurors, and all the sacred forms of public justice. Here is a true pict ore of Popish morals in Ireland. Will our English brethren look upon it and learn their duty? The Standard, with its accustomed justness of thought and feeling, thus o bserves upon this trial : " Let men remember, what a trial is; it is an investigation o the truth, upon the best possible testimony, after along and in dustrious research, and a careful elaboration on both sides. Now, what is the truth inevitably deducible from the successive inves tigations and trials? is it not that there exists in Ireland, at least, in Carlow, a numerous party not unconnected with the priesthood, anxious and ever prompt to destroy the character of the protestant population, even at the cost of perjury and murder, blackened by the foulest ingratitude. The most striking and the most instructive feature in the case is presented by the total absence of personal motive of anv kind. None of the perjured witnesses appears to have entertained the slightest feelings of private malice —non e of them by possibility can have any mo tive of personal gain in the destruction of the innocent man whom they doomed to an ignominious death—nor does there appear to have been any connection among them beyond their common religion and their united submission to their priests. How frightful the inference front such an anomaly in the social state. Does not this potentous anomaly seem to prove the almost infinite extent of a conspiracy against the honor of the pro testant religion, and the lives of Protestants, of which the four convicted conspirators were but representatives sent on duty pro hoc vice?" From this reasoning it is to be inferred that thosp , wretches, Corrigan, Doyle, and Flemming were unff& the influence o f a power which, in this unhappy country, is paramount to the laws. Their conviction and pfinisii ment bear lightly on the public inter es t s , compare d w i t h the discovery and punishment of those "commanding who set them on, and drilled them to the horrible spirits" abuse of the legal forms of justice. To find out these would, indeed, .be a discovery of deep and momentous value. The Kilkennq Moderator makes the following observations among others : " Doyle confessed hi, guilt, and declared that be was induced to swear against Sly's life by two men, who, it appears, were in turn employed by souse prieSts to bring anninm-ent man to an ignominious end. Corrigan swore that he never thought of giving evidence against Sty until he went to his Confession ' " Doyle mentioned that he was first urged to the con- THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. In the STANDARD of Tuesday we gave an extended report of the meeting of this body at Exeter Hall, in London. It appears that Mr. M'Ghee had been im posed upon by some designing person, and was led to comment upon a letter which it was said was sent out to the world by his Holiness the Pope of Rome. The fol lowing letter, signed by the Chairman of the meeting upon that occasion, sufficiently explains the whole matter.

" Westbrook, July 19, " Sir,—As I presided at the meeting in Exeter hall, at which the letter from Pope Gregory XVI. to the Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland was quoted, I feel mys2lf called upon to ex press my sentiments upon the subject. I cannot say how deeply I deplore the publication of the letter in question. In the pre face is contained a sustained fraud. It riimmences by saying that `the translator of the following curious document is, un fortunately, not at liberty to explain the manner in which it carne into his hands; were he* able to do so, the doubts which may now, perhaps, be expressed as to its authenticity, could not have been raised; he must, therefore, trust to the sagacity of the reader to discern in it those marks of genuineness which no fictitious doiminent has . eier been found to pessess.' Page 7 con tains a libellous charge against the Pope, as giving to the Irish Roman Catholic Archbishops and Bishops an express permis sion to disguise tl,eir real sentiments, and to act in all such mat ters according to the necessity of the times.' My touch valued friend, the Rev. R. M`Ghee must have overlooked these pas sages, and their only intelligible import, when he expressed himself so mildly respecting the document, and recommended it to the perusal of protestants, instead instantly denouncing it as libellous and unchristian. In then ame of the sacred cause in which we are engaged, I would reprobate such `pious frauds.' Let us borrow no weapons of defence from Satan's armoury. The evidences adduced by Mr. M`Ghee during the first three hours of his speech were irrefragable; the letter unwittingly re ferred to by hint, subsequently, I can only designate as an im pudent forgery.—l have the honour to be, your most obedient and humble servant, " G. FINCH." This is strong reproof, but it is just. We are the more willing to subscribe to Mr. Finch's condemnation of the forgery, because we see that the report of the Ex eter-hall meeting has found its way into the Dublin papers, unaccompanied by any explanation on the part of the author of the fabricated letter. That gentleman is under a grievous delusion if he thinks that a very full explanation is not due from him. As to Mr. MGhee, the worst that can be said of him is, that he has been the dupe of an imposition, aided, perhaps, by his own zeal, and the influence of a surprise. It is not expected that parliament will be prorogued before the 11th or 12th of August. A client once burst into a flood of tears, after he had heard the statement of his case by counsel, exclaiming, " My lord, my lord, I did not think I suffered half so much till I heard it here this day." THE SUBLIME AND THE RIDICULOUS.—My lodgings on both occasions of my residence here was in the vicinity of the cathe dral. In the night of my first arrival in Antwerp I was amused and surprised to hear the chimes of the cathedral play " Buy a broom." Thought I to myself, Bonaparte was right; " there is but one step from the sublime and ridiculous." The tower of the cathedral of Antwerp, the noblest structure of its kind in Europe—the church in itself the shrine of unpurchaseable, be cause unparalleled f treasures of art, the wonders of Rubens's wonderful pencil, the admiration of the world—and—" Buy a broom." I slept the better for laughter at the ridiculous asso ciation of ideas conjured up by this circurnstance.—A Saunter in Belgium. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN SWITZERLAND.—BERNE, July 6. —The passage-boat from Thune to that town was lost this day in going through the dangerous pass of the Guttegenphue. Having by an accident unshipped her rudder, she became un manageable, and was carried by the current on to the rocks with such force that she was dashed to pieces. All the passen gers who were good swimmers succeeded in reaching the shore, but the rest, to the amount of fifteen, were drowned. DANGEROUS BALLOON EXCURSION OF A LADY. The Odessa Journal of the 17th of June contains the following : " On the 12th of this month a young lady of Prack made an aerostatic ascension. The balloon was made of paper, and, having arrived at a great height, burst. The intrepid aeronaut fell with frightful rapidity, but, by extraordinary good luck, was picked up not only alive tut without having received any serious wound." HOUSE OF COMMONS.—ABOLITION OF FEES.—The following written notice is affixed to the wall at the top of the staircase leading from the members' waiting room to the lobby of the House of Commons :—"The doorkeepers, messengers, and all other officers of the Sergeant-at-Arms' department, are pro hibited from receiving any fee or gratuity whatever." And over the entrance to the strangers' gallery there is also a written notice posted up as follows :—" Admittance by a Member's order only." INGRATITUDE OF THE LADIES.—We find on examination that the book which has been some time opened at Mr. G. Berkeley's bankers, to receive subscriptions for a piece of plate for the hon. gentleman, contains a most scanty list of names, totally insufficient for the most trifling tribute. So we con clude our fashionable contemporaries:were right in predicting it would end in an Almack jest.—Herald. Canova, when he was asked, ,during his visit to England what struck him most forcibly ? is said to have replied, that the trumpery Chinese bridge, then in St. James's-park, should be the work of the Government, whilst that of Waterloo was the work of a private company.—Quarterly Review. INTELLIGENT JURY,—The foreman of the petty jury, at the county sessions, on Monday, assigned as his reason for finding Woor guilty, "that as the grand jury had found him guilty, what could they (the petty jury) do but find him guilty too !" Nottingham Mercury. . GOOSEBERRY Foor..—Last week a person purchased some gooseberries from a green-grocer in the Pavement, on the fol lowing novel terms. He bargained to have four for the first halfpenny, eight for the second, sixteen for the third, and so on doubling for each halfpenny to the amount of sixpence. He, therefore, had 16,380 gooseberries for his sixpence. We think our readers will be of opinion with us that the green-grocer who made this bargain must have been green indeed, and well entitled to be called a gooseb,rry fool —nrkshireman. THE LATE YORK FESTIVAL—It appears 'by the treasurer's account, that the gross sum received during the festival at York last year was £16,662 3s which, after payment of all expenses, leaves a balance of £1.783 6s. 9d. towards the restoration of the cathedral, and a like sum to be divided amongst the four infir maries of Sheffield, Leeds, York, and Hull; the moiety paid into the hands of the treasurer of each institution, including a small balance due from former festivals, being £450. It appears from the items, that the money received for the morning per formances was £10,704 14s. ; and in the expenditure the prin cipal items were: vocal performers, £1,85110s ; instrumental performers, £4,455 15s. al.; tuning of the Minister organ, £B7 ' • use of timber and carpenters' work, El 650 Is. 6 d.; t he total payments on the occasion having been £13,072 3s. RATING OF TITHES.—MOST IMPORTANT TO THE CLERGY —The clergy are strongly recommended to be alive to a bil which has passed the Commons. It is Mr. Poulett Scrope's bill on rating property to the poor's rate. There is no space to explain the full evil ; but in short, it will set aside the old law of the country respecting the rating of tithes, which was so clearly laid down in the case of Rex v. Jodrell. The old law was, in fact, that all persons should be rated fairly according to their ability. If land is rated at its full rent, but no notice taken of the farmer's profit, and tithes are rated at their full amount, the land and tithes are not rated alike. Now, the effect of Mr. Scrope's bill is to make this be done, and by a side wind. The consequence will be, that, in addition to the robbery effected in the tithe bill, the tithe owners will be robbed to the extent of perhaps £20,000 a-year more. Time lawyers on Mr. Scrope's side affect to say that the law, as laid down in the case of Rex v. Jodrell, was overturned in the case of Rex v. Adams. But this is not so ; nay, the law, as laid down in Mr. Jodrell's case, is confirmed by this new case.— British Magazine. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Sunday last a distressing and fatal accident occured opposite to the yard of Honey and Ar cher, the boat-builders, at Lambeth, on the river Thames, to the Lady Emma, one of the yachts belonging to the Royal Thames Yacht Club, which was to have sailed for the silver cup on Monday. A sudden gust of wind arising, the boat was capsized, and the whole of the party of six who were on board were pre cipitated into the river. one gentleman having just been pre viously landed. They consisted of Bucknell, of Crutched-friars, the proprietor of the [mat, his brother and nephew ; John Judge, an officer in the Thames police Mr. Honey. the husband of Mrs. Honey, the actress; and Charles Maitin, a waterman, who had charge of the boat ; the only boat near the spot was that o f Richard Tisdell, a waterman of Strand-lane-stairs, having a fare of three gentlemen on board, whom he was con veying to Battersea, an d w h o see i ng t h e acc id en t immediately ro wed to their assistance. John Jud're swam to the boat and was taken on board; and Tisdell at great risk seized Mr. Bucknell, the proprietor, by the collar, and afterwards his brother by the hair of the head, all of whom he succeeded in rescuing. The other three were drowned. Martin was a good swimmer, but it is supposed got his feet entangled in the rigging, which prevented him making his escape, whilst Mr. Honey and the nephew of Mr. Bucknell immediately sank. The three bodies were picked up within two hours afterwards by means of drags, which were immediately procured; but, of course, life was extinct. A. sister of the last gentleman was standing on Vauxhall -bridge to witness the progress of the boat; her feelings ,were of the most harrowing description, and considerable sensation was excited along the shore. Great praise is due to Tisdell, the waterman, to whose exertions solely the preservation Of the three lives are owing, and who has, on different occasions, distinguished himself by his humane and intrepid exertions in similar situations. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE-1N OPEN COURT. —At York as sizes, yesterday - week, during the examination of a witness on a criminal prosecution, a large cat in a very infuriated state, rush ed from the body of the court upon the counsel table—it next jumped on the bench, and after attempting to pay a visit to the jury, it made a rapid descent on the head of one of the learned counsel, inflicting a scratch upon his forehead with his claws. This outrage was the signal for a general movement among the "profession." The feline intruder, regardless of all dignity and decorum, dashed anew among the briefs upon the table—from thence it made its way into the crier's box, m l alanvst instantly quitted the court. It was some minutes before the business was resumed, the learned judge and every one in court being almost convulsed with laughter. SOLT TH AMERICA.

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEAN PILLS. rilOR the effectual extirpation 'dl' every species and symptom IL` of the Syphilitic Disease,and the many disorders arising from improper treatment.

" Venienti occurite morbo." "Oppose the disease in its infancy." "These, 0 sinful pleasures. these are thy trophies—'tis thui c- operating with the foe of God and man, thou degradest hu" man nature, and blasteth the opening prospects of human re' licity."—B LAIR. So said Professor Swedour, when he diScovered his grand PANACEA for this Complaint, The "Hygean Pills." (then un= known to the annals of medical discoveries,) as a specific reme dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea ; cures frequently imbib e d in moments of inebriation, or thotight ; lessness : never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases Of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele brated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country, and ad= 'dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir= cumstance. The certainty with which they were continually administered, can be attested by many thousands, in fact during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slushtest suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satis faction. The Hygean Pills root out every particle of the insid onus poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids, they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser hu- - moors and in a manner so mild and imperceptible. as to con vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled' powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery --- . they require no restraint of diet, loss of time„Or hindrance of business. The Hygean Pills may be depended upon as a cet- . taro cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygean Pills, for when taken be-. fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive,, removing . the complaint effectually and secretly; the deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger ous mineral when injudiciously administered. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, No. 54, Seel street, Liverpool, from Eight in the morning until Ten et night (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives ad vice to a applicants taking any of his preparations, WITHOUT A FEE. Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by rt. turn, and Medicines punctually transmitted to any address, ether by initials or name. Itlarkris. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. JULY 21.
