TUESDAY MORN/NG, JULY 8, 1845 the crisis in Ireland is rapidly approaching—a 4is which will compel Sir itoliert Peel and his colleagues to lay aside their idle and distasteful idemical education and popish ag grandisement, and set themselves in earnest to vin dicate the law and to protect life and property in crotchets of that unhappy and disorgarAsed country. Last week me had to shock the ears of Engli hrnen with the details of a murder of unprecedented and unpro voked brutality, the perpetrator of which still walks abroad, known to hundreds, if not to thousands, I'o-day we have to remark upon a scene of barbarous outrage which would disgrace ;avage Indians; and yet this too has oc religious Ireland"—" moral Ireland"— the finest peasantry in the world," whose reverence towards their spiritual teachers is so ex emplary, and whose love of their Church and her doctrines is so sensitive that to offend either is re garded as a crime! Well might Sir R. Peel de dare, on an occasion well-remembered, that " Ire land was his chief difficulty." Presuming, as we are quite warranted in doing, that he had then de termined upon the line of policy which he would and is now pursuing, the task of grappling with a state of society presenting so many irrecon- et undenounced. a tribe of curred in pu rs II e, cileable anomalies—so much religion and mo rality" (!) mingled with so much hideous crime and appetite for bloodshed—might well be esteemed a difficulty. But to our task of recording this last outrage and its disastrous consequences. On Monday, it appears, a fair was held in the vil lage of Ballinhassig, seven miles from Cork; and at the conclusion of the said fair, notwithstanding all the sobriety, which is the especial boast of the Irish people just now, when the magistrates who had been present to repress disorder had returned to dinner, the usual preparation for a faction fight commenced. We give a description of the scene which ensued from the Cork Constitution : "They were. how 'er, but a short time gone, when the leader of one faction, a man named an, who is better known by the cognomen of ' Ran w up his hat in the green, and whirling his e the faction whoop, when his friends anti ad mmediat ly gathered about him tumultuously. )weeer, interfered, and the men of the op 'he ' Neills,' retired from the green.

The rest of the body ul mately made their way to the police barrack. As e. result of this dreadful affair, ten of the !asantry are already dead, and upwards of twenty led. rn f whom - are not expected ar cases of outrage in listurb of the peace are of order, a clamour has ns, misrepresenting I ril nd laying the done upon the polic ret to observe that the reports of these or gans, from their priority of publication, have been opted e lish press, and will doubtless for a tirr. have the effect of misleading public indignation from the real aggressors Throughout, the proceedings of the police are repre sented as having been rash and bloodthirsty; whilst the conduct of the faction-fighters was that of inno ! We leave the actual facts of the cave ;cl by the coroners's inquest; and if irn permitted to be offered—if men leader of the Ribbonmen afterwards declared, that had the weapon not been instantly returned, no one man of the constabulary could have escaped. The possible fate of the Protestants of the town generally was involved in theirs, as was not only evident from their circumstances and situation, but from the occasional and unequivocal declarations of chiefs and subalterns in the armed party. Thus, one general of the body said, in the hearing of a respectable Protestant, that if any Catholics had been hurt in the country, "not one Protestant in the town would hare been left alive ;" and a second inferior leader ob served, ihat in such a case, " neither man, woman, nor child should be spared; and when a report was spread that an engagement had taken place at Losset, and that some Romanists were wounded, a conversation was over heard between two privates in the Ribbon force, the first saying " come, let us go out to meet them," and the other replying, " no, there's no use in delaying ; " let us begin with what's in the town, and finish them first, and then the town is our own ;" and, truly, they could have little difficulty in finishing about 80 able-bodied but unarmed Protestant men, and above 300 of their wives and children, all of whom owed their lives apparently to lucky chance, but really to God's merciful providence." And now we come to the question, what are Sir R. Peel and his colleagues prepared to do to rescue the loyal and peaceable people of Ireland from ter rors and outrages such as are here described. This, at least, is no casual affray, arising out of an attempt to put down a faction fight. The origin of such a display of rebellious strength is not to be traced to the letting of land. One of the leaders of the band was heard to boast that he had with him " 200 honest REPEALERS, who would do their duty ;" and that duty, plainly, was the extermination of every. Protestant family which the town contained. " Nei ther man, nor woman, nor child should be spared !" We ask, then, of Sir Robert Peel of what is such a feeling as this significant? By what agency has it been brought about, and how is it to be put down ? Men who fear not to speak the truth about Irish affairs—who fear no " little cloud rising in the west" —who are not steeped at once in political profligacy, and moral and mental blindness—will acknowledge that the source of these outrages against the law, is to be found in that baneful agitation, which Sir Robert Pccl has declared the law to be too weak to put down. It is to be found in that toleration of the preachers of sedition, and discouragement of loyal men attached to the British connection, which is the key-stone of Sir Robert Peel's Irish policy. It is the fruit of the seeds of "hatred to the Saxon," ' which has for years been sown with such untiring perseverance by the unpeaceable demagogues, who batten upon the energies of their prostrate and un happy country. The Irish peasant has ever before him the inspiring promise of " Ireland for the Irish;" and though be is told that this means simply that Ireland is to he self-governed—that her Parliament is to sit in College-green—that her cherished faith is to rise to supremacy, and that all this is to be achieved without the shedding of a drop of blood, by peaceful agitation, by monster meetings, by orga nization—he has his own mode of reasoning. He asks himself, " How can Ireland he for the Irish, if the land is to be still for the Saxon intruder ?" No sane man can drive from his mind the con viction that, however cunningly the mode, by which Repeal is to be carried, is glozed over by its men dacious author, the conclusion is strengthening itself in the mind of the Irish masses, that the ulti mate resource is to be, if not rebellion, at least the extermination of the Protestant gentry, or their ex- ; patriation, as the result of a wide-spread system of terrorism and outrage. With what practical measures, then, is the present government prepared to cope with such a state of things ? The jesuit policy of , conciliation, it is clear, has already failed. What, then, is to be tried next ? Is the nation to he roused to crush rebellion in the bud, or are Protestants and loyal Irishmen to be left to the assassin's knife, or, as their only alternative, to prepare to protect them selves ? We wait for a reply. THE CROPS.—The whole of the field crops in this neighbourhood still look remarkably promising, especially the wheats and spring sown grain. A very heavy showe f . .

An influential meeting of noblemen and gentlemen of the counts , of Cavan, convened by the High Sheriff, was held on Wednesday, for the purpose of adopting mea sures to restore the county to its former peacefuCcondi tion, by forming a union between the Roman Catholic and Protestant r!sidents—lay and clerical, to use their utmost endeavours to discover the murderer of the late George T. Bell, Esq.. of Drumcurbin. There was a very large attendance of the country people present—at least 5,000. The resolutions were proposed by the Marquis of Headfort, Lord Farnham, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Bishop of Kilmore and others. CAUTION —Some three or four years since, the Rev. J. M. Capes, who has just left the Church of England, and joined the Rornish Church, proposed to the inhabitants of Bridgewater to build a church at his own expense, pro vided the townspeople would raise a sufficient sum to en dow it. The necessary sum was raised, and the church built, and it was opened about two or three months back. Service has been performed there regularly every day since by the rev. gentleman and his curate. Great apprehensions are now felt by the subscribers as to whether the church, which is an extremely handsome building, will be given over by the rev. gentleman to the Roman Catholics. or whether it can be retained by the establishment. The bishop has been applied to consecrate the church, but how matters will end, is at present a mystery. PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION.-011 Tuesday evening a great Protestant meeting was held in the Rotiti!do Gar dens, Dublin, to commenvrate the Battle of the Boyne. A platform was erected which accommodated a vast num. ber of persons. There was a very large attendance, and several banners and bulges appropriate to the ocebsion were displayed in the gardens and by the audience. When night approached, the lamps as usual were lighted, and the proceedings were protracted to a late hour. A. band was engaged to render the proceedings more effec tive, and played several national and Protestant airs dur ing the evening. The meeting was addressed in very spirited speeches by the Chairman, the Rev. R. H. M. Eyre, Mr. Ferrand, Rev. T. D. Gregg, and others. During the progress, aid after they had separated, the persons forming the meeting were hooted by a mostunruly mob outside, who did all in their power to create a breach of the peace, happily, we believe, without effect, the Orangemen having been requested to abstain from colli sion with any other party. NEW MISSIONARY COLLEGE —At the last meeting of the Church Missionary Society the Rev. Hugh M'Neile suggested the expediency of forming, on a large scale, a college for training young men for missionary service. A movement has been already made with this object in view with the sanction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who has appo'nted a provisional committee. eonsisring, gst others, of the Bishop of Lichfield, Bishop Cole Dr. Lvall, Dr. Jelf, &c. A ite in the rnetrovoli tical city of Canterbury, (the ruins of the ancient Abbey of St A none. ;..P 1 1. 0 1,...1... r tim gm in a Jay memner of the Church, been clovotod to this design. And the sums de rived from the limited applications of a single individual— independently of the site, and the assurance from its mu nificent donor of yet further assistance towards, the erec tion of the buildings, in addition to a large donation to the general fund—alieady amount t o £39,003. It is proposed to commence immediately the principal quadrangle of the college, which includes the 'hapel, hall, library, and apart ments for fifty students, with the requisite accommoda tion for the officers and servants of the establishment. The arrangement* • f the building will be so constructed as to admit of quent enlargement. - - WHAT DOES RIBBONISM MEAN? —The truth is at last out. V: know the object, or one of them at least, why the r. otestant gentry of Ireland are one by one slaughtered by the confederacy of ruffians who, on the au thority of no less a personage than Father Tom Maguire, have earned for Ireland, instead of her favourite designa tion of "the Isle of Saints," the more appropriate one of " the Island of A ssassins." A meeting of the nobility, gentry, the clergy of all persuasion., and the yeomanry of the county of Cavan, was held on Wednesday last in the town of Cavan, to consider the awful state of the county, as exemplified in the recent murder of Mr. Geo. G. Bell, and to devise means to put down the infamous system of assassination practised throughout the district by the Ribbon Societies. What was the response of the mass of the meeting to the entreaties with which they were urged to discountenance this system and to arrest its perpe trators whenever they could be met with? What was their recipe for procuring the restoration of peace and tranquility ? " Abatement of rents!" To one speaker the reply was " don't give us resolutions, but allow the rents to be lowered," whilst another speaker more plainly declared, " the rents are too high ; lower them and all will be right 1' Here then is the secret of such murders as those of Lord Norbury, Mr. Bell, and a hundred others. Assassination is to go on ; Ribbonism is to select its victims at its pleasure ; until the Protestant land owners of Ireland consent to have their rent rolls revised and their property virtually rejected, or, more properly, confiscated, by the bloodthirsty gangs who compose its secret tribunals! '• Reduce your rents—resign half your incomes—and then all will be right ;' you may, perhaps, be permitted to walk from church to fair without the risk of a bludgeon or the assassin'. pistol !" A pleasant pros pect for the Protestant landowners and yeomanry of Ire land, truly ! rhie is Ribbonietri, partial -evident , syno thirst not open their doors to shelter a half murdered man from his savage assailants dare come forward and speak the truth before a jury—we ven ture to say that the real facts of the case will be found such as we have stated them. We turn to another outrage of a different descrip tion, the occupation of the town of Killishandra, county of Cavan, on Tuesday night and Wednes day morning last, by a body of 500 Repealers and Ribbonmen, drilled and armed with guns, pitchforks, -scythes set str ght upon poles, and every other imaginable weapon of offence, the only protection to the Protestant inhabitants being fourteen policemen. The-scene is thus described by a correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail, in whose veracity that pumal expresses the most complete confidence "The police force of fourt been s 1 in a a n men could have at times moment, and almost without the f any eft of resistance probability Thus, they had to patrol on one occasion between two armed lines of about 200 men each, stationed at opposite sides of the street, who could have closed in upon them at either side, with out giving them an opportunity of almost firing a shot. On another occasion, a policeman seized from a Ribbon- Alan some nondescript weapon resembling a pike, but re turned it on finding that it did not exactly answer to the denomination of weapon which the law forbids. What $ law that must be which forbids a pike, and tolerates a "straightened scythe!" And, in this case, the essential difference was providential, as the polic e , who are most brave, would have certainly done th eir duty ; and THE LIVERPOOL STANfiAiii) PROTESTANT OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION. The general half-yearly meeting of the members and friends of the Protestant Operative Association was held last night in the Music Hall, Bold-street. There was a numerous attendance in the body of the ball, and on the platform we recognized several warm hearted friends of the cause. The president of the Association, the ltev. H. M'Neile, was announced to take the chair. but we regret to say that an accident which is described below in his own words, prevented his attendance. An able and a zealous substitute, however, was found in the person of the Rev. Frederick Parry, who was called to the chair on the motion of the Rev. D. James. A prayer having been delivered by Mr. JAMES, The CHAIRMAN read the following letter from Mr. M'Neile ROSCOMMON-STREET. Monday Afternoon. My Dear Mr. Parry.—Will you have the kindness to take my place this evening at the Protestant Meeting, and to make my apology. I have met with a slight accident which must keep me in the house. To-day, when I was arranging some books and pape s in my library, a writing desk fell from a table on my foot. The swelling consequent upon the blow soon obliged me to take off my boot. and now I cannot put on a shoe, or stand up without pain. The thing is of no consequence in itself, and wonld not deserve this passing notice; but for the unfortunate coincidence of my eng••gement for this evening, and the con sequent necessity of disappointing our Operative friends. Believe me very faithfully, yours, Rev. F. Parry. fI UGH M'NEILE. The reading of this letter elicited much sympathy. The Chairman then proceeded to eulogise the services of Mr. M' Bile in the cause of Protestant frith, and to urge upon the meeting the necessity in these times, when ex pediency was the main principle of our rulers, to main tai 1 that faith with consistency and in prayerful depend ence upon the promises of God's truth. The Rev. J. BROWN, of St. Andrew's Scotch Church, Rodney-street, then rose, amidst great applause, to pro- pose the next resolution, and after - a few remarks on the importance of having a body of sound protestant opera tives, proceeded as follows : the resolution entrusted to me assumes that Popery is making progress. Is that the fact? Who with either eyes or ears in his head can doubt it ? Ido not speak of the increase in the number of its chapels, though that is indisputable; nor in the number of its adherents, though that too seems certain ; but con sider the position it now occupies in reference to the con stitution of this kingdom. It is defended, diluted, ex plained away by our legislators, who wou'd be mightily improved by a few lectures from their Chaplain explana tory of the Roman Catholic religion, after players are over. It is patronized by her Majesty's ministers ; the prime minister especially cares no: a jot from what quarter the wind blows from, so that it only fills his sails and enables him to keep his hand upon the helm. It is sanctioned by the Queen. It has falsified the coronation oath ; and, what is more monstrous still, bishops, aye and archbishops, Protestant bishops, Protestant arch bishops, have been seen standing up in their place in par liament and pleading for support to a system which, by their education and learning, by their ordination vows, by the name they bear, by the doctrines they teach, by the emoluments they draw, by the title they possess, to sit upon that bench and lift up their voice in that august assembly, they are bound to oppose as the depository and disseminator of error, detrimental to films , ena i mrbl in terests ; dangerous to the salvation of their precious souls Is there no progress here? No progress ! when you have Popery not merely creeping into the cabinet but climbing up to the throne. No progress ! " Give me the fulcrum to fix my lever," said the ancient philosopher, " and I will move the world." Maynooth is that fatal spot where the Protestant Church will be convulsed. No wonder men's minds have roused in reference to that most unprincipled grant. It was the Hougeomont in the moral contest. It bas been lost; and as surely as Ireland is an island, an attempt will be made to endow the catholic priesthood, and if successful, ;as from the aspect of parties there is too much rea son to apprehend, the Reformation is torn up by the roots; and if Puseyism, that Judas Iscariot within the church, make common cause with Popery, that Pon tius Pilate without, then the civil and religious constitu tion combined of this mighty empire, like the ship on fire in the storm, can be saved from the wreck and wretched ness of revolution by nothing short of a stupendous moral miracle. [The rev. gentleman then, in a strain of stir ring eloquence, pointed out the leading truths and false hoods which must grapple for the mastery in the ap proaching conflict. He afterwards went on as follows.] Chiefly, however, politically speaking, the registration courts are to be the scenes of conflict. They are the forts which govern the country. Take them from the abettors of Popery, and the victory is won. " Keep your power dry," used to be said in the old Orange times. Keep your pens wet—sterling steel pens, wet with true blue ink—is now the order of the day. Give in claims for yourselves, claims for your friends, relatives, and acquaintances—that is, if they are of the right sort. 'What is your first duty as s citizen this month of July ? Register. Your second ? Register. Your third ? Re gister. Arid when the time for voting comes, the old British lion, animated afresh by the spirit of Wicliff and of Knox, sh 11 be heard bellowing from the Land's End to John-o'-Groat's House—" No one shall provoke me with impunity." \Ve have had duplicity enough, and trickery enough. We are disgusted by men hoisting the flag of the friend outside the harbour, and the flag of the foe inside. \Ve prefer an open enemy to a trea cherous ally. We think the cabinet council too respectable a place for the accommodation of jug glers. Measures, not men,—deeds, not words,—is henceforth to be our motto. Protestantism shall be em blazoned on our banner, and beneath that banner tor getting all lesser differences of doctrine and discipline, shall Churchmen and Dissenters, Episcopalians, Presby terians, Methodists, gild Independents, rally. Tory, Whig, and Radical shall fling to the winds their petty disputes, as to what shall be the amount of the franchise, what the restrictions upon trade, and rising like Paul titer his three days' blindness, Christian Britain shall shake off her temporary drowsiness, and from the re sounding Cathedral to the simple village church—from the populous meeting house, and the whitened chapel, perched high amidst the lonely pastoral hills, crowds of God-fearing men, not carrying the cross in their hand, not wearing it on their garments, btur having it planted in their hearts, shall pour along in firm, but peaceful array, towards the spots where the battle of peace, religion, and genuine freedom is to be fought. Different corps shall that army consist of, but their heart and purpose shall be one ; an open Bible, in their mother tongue, shall be their emblem, in their march they shall trample under their feet Rome's false keys of the kingdom, and wielding poli tical rights which God and the constitution of their country bestowed on them ; they shall yet, with the Di vine blessing, bear back this inundation of irreligion with which we are threatened,and so save this prosperous land from the agonies of civil war, and the wreck of a revolu tion. Mr. RADCLIFFE, in a speech of considerable energy, urged the meeting in behalf of Protestantism, and con chided by seconding the resolution. The resolution was then put, and the motion was unani mouslyadopted._ The Rev. D. JAMES, on rising to propose the next re solution, was received with warm applause. He said he had no he,itation in recommending the resolution to the adoption of the meeting, because he conceived it to be drawn up in the spirit of Scriptural instruction. After alluding to the claims of the Pope and the Church of Rome, and ably proving that they had no foundation either in the Bible or theFa , liers, the rev. gentleman observed that he considered the Protestant church as a noble vessel brought by the hands of our martyred forefathers safely through the storms of persecution and rage which beset her, to anchor in the haven of Rnace and safety. She had been safely riding at her mooPEgs for two centuries, under the protection of our glorious constitution ; but now it was a subject of regret that Ministers were endeavouring to cut her cables, to leave her to drift again into danger and dif ficulty. But when the billows again began to roll and swell, would Protestants remain apathetic? (Cheers, and " No, no.") No, he believed a noble band of men would leap into the boat, take the vessel in tow, and bring her back to her moorings ; and if in that boat a Peel and a Wel lington should found—should he say it ?—men who had been convicted of the crime of deserting their posts like Jonah, must be prepared for Jonah's fate. (Loud and long-continued cheers.) Let them be removed from the power they now hold, and never again permitted to return to the helm of the State—(loud cheers)—never again to betray the trust which God has committed to us as faithful members of a Protestant country and an Apostolic Churc i.—(Tremendous cheers.) The rev, gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That as a good Christian is a good citizen, 't is the duty of -1, Prote- _ _ zstants enjoying the el ec ti ve fran ehit•e, to pay all taxes due to the government, before the 20th July. and ensure to thpoi,Apiv,.. voting for a sound Protestant at the next Parliamentary election." (Loud applause.) The Rev. C. MARSHALL., curate of St. Thomas's, se conded the motion, whi passed unanimously, ar.d after singing the doxology, the meeting separated. STAGSHAW-BANIE FAIR. - -This great summer Fair was held on Friday, when the number of cattle shown was greater tban for some years past, and there being a great many south country dealers present, as well as farmers and graziers from all parts of the district, the demand was much greater than was anticipated, and much of the stock was sold two or three times over, with an advance on each occasion. Indeed, there has not been such a fair for many years. In the horse market there was a good deal of business done, and late prices were fully maintained. In sheep, the demand was very brisk ; and, indeed, all descriptions of stock commanded ready sale, and brought high prices. CHARGE OF STEALING MONEY FROM A SHOP.-- At the Police -court, yesterday, a well-dressed young man, named James Pettit, who had been for some four or five years employed by Mr. Gillharn, hatter, Lord-street, as shopman and porter, was charged with the offence. From the evidence of Samuel Hall, the foreman, it appeared that some suspicion had arisen against him, and that witness, with a view to detection, had marked on Thurs day and Friday last, some sovereigns, &c. On Friday evening three of the sovereigns were missing, and on Saturday three sovereigns were found in his hand, and he was given in charge. He then refused to state where he lived, but it being discovered that he lodged in Devon street, his bed-room was searched, and in a small box the sum of £123 12s. 6d. was found, including one of the marked sovereigns, which was identified. It was en deavoured to shew that he had recently received a legacy, and also stated that ho had got money by his wife. The finding of the marked sovereign was however conclusive. against him, and he was committed for trial at thesessions. CARLISLE WRESTLING.—The wrestling took place, as usual, at Carlisle, on Wednesday and Thursday last, when the sum of thirty pounds was given to be wrestled for. The prize of 10 pounds 10 shillings was won by Jonathan White head of Workington, throwing John Ivison, of Carlisle. 30 couples wrestled, the first time over: For the prize of 20 Pounds sixty couples entered, and the rounds were not closed till yesterday, when Isaac Taylor, of \Vythe Moor, was declared the winner, having thrown Robert Gordon, of Plumpton, the final fall, ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENTS The recent Anti-Protestant measures are gradually telling upon the strength and security of the Ministerial majority. Where Conservative members a few months ago would have gone to the poll confident of victory, and secure in the name alone of Sir Robert Peel ; where to be a supporter of the Ministry, would a few months ago have constituted a sufficient recommendation to ensure to the candidate the countenance of an undivided Conserva tive interest in any county or borough ; the name must now be breathed faintly—the profession of the principles of that Ministry must be evaded—and unless the aspirant to Parliamentary honours is content to accept of the sup port of opponents of the Protestant interests of the country, his defeat is morally certain. In proof of the spread of this feeling, turn to the elections just past, or which are pending, caused by deaths and recent official changes. Dartmouth, vacant by the death of J. Sornes, Esq., Conservative, has returned a Whig opponent to the Maynooth Grant, Mr. Moffat. in preference to Mr. Prinsep, a gentleman in every respect qualified for representing the borough, but who, unfor tunately for himself, presented himself to the electors as a Conservative of the Pet 1 school. A staunch Protestant Tory, it is admitted, would have been returned tri umphantly. As it is Mr. Moffat has been returned with an ease which surprises even his own party. In Exeter, vacant by the lamented death of Sir Wm. Follett, for a length of time not a Ministerial candidate dared to present himself to supply his place. Mr. Teed, a Barrister, of Conservative principles, after issuing an address to the electors, found discretion to be the better part of valour, and withdrew. The ground was subsequently sounded in behalf of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, the new Solicitor-General ; but the response was not satisfactory, and at length a resident gentleman, Sir J. Duckworth, very greatly respected by the inhabitants, was invited to offer himselt, and consented. But even Sir J. Duckworth, it was found, must first satisfy the electors of his Protestant faithfulness before he could so far combine his party as to give him a hope of success. Whether he will be able entirely to do this, and what will be the result of the election, time will shortly prove. If the seat fails, how ever, into the hands of the Whig party, it will be because a staunch Protestant candidate did not present himself in time. Abingdon, vacant by the elevation of Sir F. Thesiger, has been for years considered a pocket borough, and has rarely been contested. Under any ordinary circumstances the return of Sir Frederick would not have been opposed. So strong, however, is the repugnanoe of the inhabitants to the Government' policy, and especial!, tea 1 %1"". ouotli Endowment. that an opposition candidate has been brought forward, General Caulfield, who has addressed the electors, His chance of succe , s is, perhaps. not very flattering ; but the very fact of such an oppositi n being attempted speaks volumes as to the spreading feeling of dissatisfaction with the Ministry. From Cambridge, vacated by the elevation of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly to the Solicitor-Generalship, that learned gentleman runs away, not venturing, it would appear, to risk its verdict upon the Ministerial policy. At present the only cadidate is Mr. Shafto Adair, on the Whig interest. Who is to be the Conservative candidate, or where the new Solicitor-General is to find a seat, is as yet to be seen. Surely, these things ought to make assurance doubly sure to Sir Robert Peel that in his recent measures he has succeeded in alienating the confidence of the British people. What a sound of triumph used to run through the ranks of the Conservative opposition when a borough or a county was wrested from the late Whig government! How Sir R. Peel himself was wont to chuckle in his place in the House, and to taunt " the Noble Lord opposite"— the (then) leader of her Majesty's government. Confi dent in his subservient majority, we dare say he regards little these demonstrations of declining influence in his own ease; but dare he face a general election ? The question would be an unpleasant one for his candour to answer. SUBSCRIPTIONS THIS YEAR TO NEW RAIL WAYS IN MANCHESTER AND IN LIVER. POOL. By an analysis of the parliamentary return we find that the amount of subscriptions of £2OOO and others to new railways has been, in Manchester £6,113,564, and in Liverpool, £5,116,030; in all, £11,229.594, or upwards of one-sixth of £64,603,707, the total amount subscribed throughout the kingdom. So far as Liverpool is con cerned, however, it must be borne in mind that upwards of £1,100,000 is subscribed by two gentlemen as Direc tors of the South Eastern Line, for the shareholders ; and a considerable amount of the Manchester subscriptions appear to be signed in the same way by Directors of the Manchester and Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, and other lines. GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—OR FridayeVenillg last, the teachers, members, and friends, of the Adult School in connection with Christ Church, assembled in the school - room, Christian -street; for the purpose of pre• sentmg the Rev. E. Wolfenden, one of the curates, and who is about to leave the congregation, with a token of the esteem and regar d w hi c h th e y en t er t a i n f or hi m. The present consisted of Scott's Bible and Commentary, in three elegantly-bound volumes ; Commentary and Pharaphrase, by Patrick, Whitby, Lowth, and others, in four volumes, uniformly bound ; and Cruden's Con cordance, in one volume, ,bound. The books were pre sented by Mr. Kennedy, who, in the name of the donors, acknowledged the zeal and fidelity of the rev. gentleman. Mr. Wolfenden returned thanks, in very feeling terms. • a . RELIGIOUS SPECTACLES OF' HOME. — Th e religious " spectacle" is to our generation superior to every sort of " spectacle." It is in a church, and not in a theatre. The actors are priests, not players or danseuses. The things represented are sacred, mysterious, tnuching ! The excitement is religious. To be sure, there is a great deal of superstition and idolatry ; and all these crossings, and howings, and tinklings, are very shocking ; and the gum.. flowers and tinsel are very tawdry. Yet it is good, say they, to learn, by beholding, to abhor such things; at any rate, the general impression is solemn, awful, and salu tary. So say the moths and bats that flicker round that tempting light, not reflecting how perilous to the un armed, uninstructed heart is the very gazing upon evil. But if they reflect not upon this, the pope and his clergy are not ignorant of the gain that is to he made, by draw ing around them, even as- beholders, the facile and im pressible multitude. With what condescension, accord ingly, and with what exemplary patience, they give a place of favour and advantage at all their ceremonials to a gaz ing, chattering crowd of unworshipping, unsympathising spectators; setting up galleries for the ladies, and allow ing the gentlemen to come almost close to the holiest pre cincts of the high altar ! How busy are their scouts and light troops of teachers, artists, dilettantis, simpering, cassocked dandies, and other carpet functionaries, with all the recent converts and fresh sentimental recruits, in giv ing all information as to times, places, services, and func tions, to the simple, unconscious strangers. And, lo! here comes forth the Rev. Dr. Beggs himself, cameriere d'honore to his holiness, and, moreover, till laiely, head of the English college at Rome, with a work of instruc tions for these spectators, written expressly for his coun trymen, and " keeping constantly in view the present state of liturgical science in England." To show how truly it is under the idea of a " spectacle" that these strangers are invited and expected to approach those ce remonies, and how utterly absent from the mind of the Romanist is the idea of the possibility of their being shared in by them as the worship of Almighty God, the work is, as it were, prefaced by a few sentences, under the follow. ing title, " Directions for seeing the Ceremonies," begin ning thus:—" Provide yourself with,a Holy-week-book, or Uffizio dells Setlimana Santa. Take care that your dress is according to rule. For many of the ceremonies, ladies require tickets signed by M._ Maegiordomo. On Palm Sunday morning the pontifical ceremonies begin at St. Peter's a t a b ou t n i ne o ' c l oc k . N o stranger can re ceive a palm without a permission signed by M. Maggior domo. On the afternoons of Wednesday, and Thursday (between four and half-past four), and of Friday (half an hour sooner), the office of Tenebrm begins at the Sixtine Chapel.. After it is over, you. may go to St. Peter's to hear the conchs ion of a similar sera ice : where on Thurs day evening the high altar is washed by the cardinal, priest. and chapter ; on Friday the pope, cardinals, &c., go thither to venerate the relics, after Tenebrte, in the Sixtine Chapel, and on the afternoons of both days the Cardinal Penitentiary goes thither in state. In the even ing of the three days the feet of the pilgrims are washed, and they are served at table by cardinals, &c., at the Tri nita del Pelligrini," and so forth. And so forth. Is it, then, the worship of Almighty God, or is it only one of the " pomp and vanities," ' which all good Christians re nounce? If the former, how does the chief bishop of all the world reconcile it to his conscience, that the central and pattern temple of Christendom, the sublimest edifi ce that the earth has sustained s i nce the time of Nebuchad nezzar, should, on the days most sacred to God and most revered by every Christian heart, at the very moments of most earnest worship, of nearest spiritual approach to God which is permitted to the creature, be converted into a playhouse ? that the very altar which he regards as the highest altar in the whole visible Church, and all that is transacted there, should be cut off from the sight of one half of the faithful assembly, by scaffoldings crowded with the gay, and, perhaps, the mocking children of schism and rebellion ? Could the thing be conceived if it had not existed ? Are the desecrations which occur there un known to him ? Verily, great is the charity of the Vicar of Christ, or small is his jealousy for the honour and wor ship of God.—The Spiritual Perils of British Travel lers, in Fraser's Magazine. COLLARS—Ur OR DOWN ?—Which side are we to take in the collar question —ups, or downs. or none at all ? We confess ourselves to be practically in a dilemma ; although, aesthetically speaking—and, indeed, from mo tives of comfort—we have no hesitation. in saying, turn down your collars ; they never were meant to be turned up. But it is now become so much of a French and English affair, that we shall be suspected of want of pa triotism if we do not say, keep up your collars, and up hold the national dignity ! As for the no-collar view of the subject, much may be said for and against it : it de pends a good deal on your complexion, reader, and also on the colour of your cravat. If you have got on your cambric and your lace, you need no further contrast for your physiognomical tint; but if you are wearing a black kerchief, and you are of a bilious brown and yellow hue, pray let us see half an inch, at least, of white beneath the lower jawbone. This point of contrast is the real reason why the collar should, as a matter of taste, be allowed to lie down on the cravat. It produces greater effect--it looks cleaner--it is certainly more comfortable. If the majority of free-born Englishmen shall ever so far sur mount their prejudices as to take a hint from France (for 'tis an invention of la jeune France), we will walk over from our side of the house, and, in the face of the nation :tad our constituents, vill join them.—Blackwood's is. thetics of _Dress. SERIOUS STREET DISTURBANCE ON SUNDAY. On the evening of Sunday last,the inhabitants of Byrom street, and several streets diverging from it right and left, in that populous quarter of the town, including the lower parts of Dale -street and Shaw's-brow, and also Fontenoy street, were for a long time kept in a state of commotion and alarm, by an immense and riotous mob, composed chiefly of the lower Irish of the neighbourh ood, some of whom had commenced an attack on a peaceable pro cession of Orangemen, on their return from the interment that afternoon in St. Mary's Cemetery, Kirkdale, of a de ceased brother of the order. The procession which is represented by all parties to have been quite peaceable, was somewhat disturbed on their way towards the ceme tery, when nearly St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Cleipel, Scotland-road, but the Orangemen bore the taunts and attacks of their assailants with patience. On their return however from the funeral, arid while in Scotland-place, they were again thrown into confusion by stones and other missiles cast from the bottom of one of the small but densely peopled streets on the other side of the area; and finally when passing along Byrom-street, opposite the bottom of Great Crosshall-street, a general attack was made upon them, though a small body of police under Mr. Superin tendent M'Donald, threw themselves between them and their assailants, with a view to keep them asunder, the language and movements of the parties having indicated the probability of violent hostilities, the Orangemen being compelled to act in defence of their lives. The police thus employed were numerically the greater sufferers, many of them including Mr. MDonald having received severe in juries from the stones and brick-bats aimed at them and the Orangemen, which had been chiefly procured from an old building in Great Crosshall-street and the neighbour. hood, and which were for a long time flying in showers, strewing the streets in every direction, and wounding all in their way, as well as breaking several windows, and alarming every one passing in the locality. When the af fray had lasted nearly half an hour,the Orangemen, many of whom were pursued up Shaw's-brow and other streets, moved homeward for protection towards Toxteth-park, the funeral having gone from New Bird-street, in that township. Mr. Dowling, head constable, soon after came up with a strong body of police, and no further violence afterwards took place. A very heavy shower about an hour afterwards also served to disperse the congregated rabble. The only display which these enemies of Protestantism could torture into a provocation w the nap of the mere s t bit o f orange sa.s•—• sue shoulders of a f ew o f the ....tiers (Attie procession, Several of the most active in the mob, in throwing stones and dealing blows, were apprehended and conveyed to bridewell. They were yesterday brought up before Mr. Rushton, and the magis trates at the Police -court, and the following are the beads of the evidence : Mr. Superintendent M'Donald said that about five o'clock he, with five or six police-officers under him, fol lowed from Mile-end to Scotland-place the funeral pro cession, which was then returning. Most of the parties wore scarfs and orange favours, and they numbered in all about four hundred. The great body of them passed p aceably until they g)t to the end of Great Crosshall street. Several young men, not of the procession, but who were bringing up the rear, then gave a shout, and rushed up the Street. Many persona, whom he took to be Irishmen, were in that street at the time. He saw the prisoner, Walter Gr ens ood*, go up to one of them,with three or four others, and he struck the man and knocked off his hat. Another blow was made at him with a stick, which he (the superintendent) arrested with his arm. He gave the offender into custody. The police and him self were immediately attacked by the parties in the street, not in the procession, and while they (seven or eight in number) stood between the two parties, stones and bricks were thickly thrown at them. No stone had before been thrown that he saw, but he had heard that a stone had previously been thrown at the procession. Mr. Davenport called witnesses for the defence :—John Pembroke said he was in the procession, but did not join it regularly. It was peaceable until it came to St. An thony's Chapel, when some disorder took place, but how it arose he did not know. Order was very soon restored. Near the chapel, in corning back, a great many lookers on rushed after it. He saw a soldier who appeared to have been drinking surrounded by many people, and ex citing a commotion amongst boys and others, and spoke to a policeman to get him from the ground. The police and Mr. MDonald came up between the two parties at Great Crosshall-street, and took an active cart in a dan gerous position. Stones, &c. were thrown at them from an old building. He was quite sure stones were thrown at the procession before Mr. MDonald came up there. Ile then saw the procession rally to the crowd, and the w p a o E r u t d i ne Edward ea haddrd on p a e shot rt hr Ferris s s naoi or s d e two hae n attended at e e n a d c ehd under other thet h e crowd to the procession, and stories were thrown on both sides. M any i n the procession went away and counselled others to do so . M ost went, but some stayed, and the the prisoner arrested. f. , euY a ne s il to ea He not t ot was e a made up on t h em at the narrow street beyond Great Crosshall t • et.) The pr ocess i on walked quietly, and r w e h i h d ea n asi s lcek e . (This witness a l so corro b orated the last would have molested no one, if allowed. Another witness, who had walked in the procession, a little behind the prisoner, saw a man come up to him with a large stick, and say, " You d—d Irish b-, if you don't mind, I'll make you so that you can't turn out on the 12th of July." The man took him by the collar when he said this. After the disturbance, four or five men chased him (witness) up Shaw's-brow, where they broke two or three of Mr. Allin's windows. George M'Fadden, who was also in the procession, spoke to the disturbances met with before getting to Great Crosshalt-street. Seven other pr'soners were then brought up, namely, Patrick Kinyon, Lawrence O'Malley, Charles Managan, Peter Ready, William Wilson, Joseph Gill, and Thomas Managan, and their several cases heard seriatim, on the evidence of a number of police offic;rs ; and the grievance in each was either throwing stones, having them in their possession, or urging others to throw. It is worthy of remark that one of the police officers, 185, (Cook), said that at the Catholic Chapel, about half-past four, (when the procession was going out,) " there was a sort of sham fight amongst the two parties," and that when he got up to Mr. MDonald, at Great Crossball-street, " the Irish men had commenced throwing stones." Mr. Rushton ,having ordered the first prisoner whose case bac: bea n neard to be also placed at the bar, ad dressed the whole of them. lie said, in effect, that it was chiefly from a dread of such di stur b ances as t h ese t h at the . • magistrates had. strongly recommended that all ✓ party de monstrations in the streets should be abstained in a town where antagonist religious feelings were on such occasions so strongly excited. I his injunction had for some time been complied with, when it was unhappily broken through by an Irish society, and now it appeared that another of a contrary feeling had commenced a practice which was calculated to renew former feuds. It was greatly to be lamented that such proceedings should take place, to th e disturbance of the p eace o f The town, that too, on the sabbath day, amongst parties who, whatever the religious differences are, ought to be subjects of the queen in amity and good will. He admitted it was difficult to dn.', with such cases, but when any such were clearly proved before him he was determined to deal with them with the utmost severity of the law; and he should therefore commit them all to the highest tribunal that took cognizance of such offences. He fi .ally committed the whole for trial at the se-sions, intimating - , however, that they might be released on bale of £5O each, and two st:reties in £2O each. The prisoners are all working men. * This man we are assured is not an Orangeman COLERIDGE'S OPINIONS.—The following extracts from various portions of Coleridge's " Table Talk," are as valuable as they are seasonable at the present moment. Mr. Pitt has received great credit for effecting the Union ; but I believe it will sooner or Ipter be discovered that the manner in which, and the terms upon which be effected it, made it the most fatal blow that ever was levelled against the peace and prosperity of England. From it came the Catholic Bill. From the Catholic Bill has come this Reform Bill! and what next? (Page 146, date 1831.) The penal code in Ireland, in the beginning of the last century, was justifiable as a temporary means of enabling government to take breath and look about them; and if right measures had been systematically pursued in a right spirit, there can be no doubt that all, or the greater part, of Ireland would have become Protestant. Protestantism under the charter schools was greatly on the increase in the early part of that century, and the complaints of the Romish priests to that effect are on record. (Page 202.) Clergymen are now almost afraid to explain in their pul pits the grounds of their being Protestants. They are completely cowed by the vulgar harassings of the press and of our hectoring sciolists in Parliament. There should be no party politics in the pulpit to be sure; but every church in England ought to resound with national politics, —I mean the sacred character of the National Church, and an exposure of the base robbery from the nation it self,—for so indeed it is—about to be committed by these ministers, in order to have a sop to throw to the Irish agitators, who will, of course, only cut the deeper, and come the oftener. You cannot buy off a barbarous in vader. (Dated 1833.) How lamentable it is to hear the Duke of Wellington expressing himself doubtingly on the abornin.ble sophism that the coronation oath only binds the king as the executive power, —thereby making . a Highgate oath of it. But the Duke is conscious of the ready retort which his language and conduct on the Eman cipation Bill afford to his opponents. He is hampered by that affair. (1834.) There are many able and patrii,tic members in the House of Commons—Sir Robert Inglis, Sir Robert Peel, and some others. But I grieve that they never have the courage or the wisdom, 1 know not in which the failure is, to take their stand upon duty, and to appeal to all men as men,—to the good and the true, which exist for all, and of which all have an apprehension. They always set to work —especially, his great eminence considered, Sir Robert Peel—by addressing themselves to individual interests; the measure will be injurious to the linendrapers or to the bricklayers ; or this clause will bear hard on bobbin -net, or poplins, and so forth. Whereas thair adversaries, the demagogues, always work on the opposite principle; they always appeal to men as men ; and, as you know, the most terrible convulsions in society have been wrought by such phrases as, " rights of man," " sovereignty of the people, &c., which no one under stands, which apply to no one in particular, but to all in general..... Consistent truth and goodoess will assuredly in the end overcome everything; but inconsistent good can never be a match for consistent evil. Alas! I look in vain for some wise and vigorous man to sound the word duty in the ears of this generation. (Page 136. 1831.)
