N icing this pamphlet, it is necessary to premise • *se4s..l l tiihk,, e speech" is one-that would have fieen spoken; in '`"--ecrictinuation of the debate, On' Lord Kerry's mtition for. ari address to the throne, praying his tniijeKty to„ direct the Irish government to carry into effect the measures reCominended in the _report of the select committee ap pointed last session to inquire into the stale of the•navi gation of the Shannon, had the. author of it been a mem ber of the house. 'Although. the speech does not bear his name, it is generally known to have:been-written by Air. C. W. Williams, .a gentlethan connected with the Dublin Steam Navigation Company. -Mr. Williams's object is to show that the improvement of-the navigation of the Shannon was deemed a measure of national importance in the reign of Queen Anne; that its practicability is perfectly well established by the rriaAS of information which has. already been collected on the subject, at an expense to. the country .of £40,000, -and that any further inquiry would be useless. In answer to a -member who required further "necessary informa tion," he says : "Talk of further information—in the name of patience—of national patience—how Many ages are required to collect this ' necessary information r flow long' is this to go on ? Are members of parliament supposed' to have - stomachs for• this never-ending supply? Are they Wbe report and committee crammed for ever? What is to be considered a quantum suf . - frit dose to make up the 'necessary information,' and qua lify them to proceed? and in. reference to a navigation which is at our own doors-which-may be thoroughly understood by a single hour's attention to the volumes now on your table—and may be personally inspected by any honourable member in a single week." Mr. Williams refutes the position assumed by Mr. Lgder during the debate on the reform bill, that the prevailing ignorance of this part of Ireland arose from ""inadequate representation," by noticing the fact that but four Irish members took any part in the debate on Lord Kerry's motion. He asks : " Where were the members of counties on the western bank of the Shannon, Sligo, Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, and Clare; and on the east and south of that river, of Leitrim and Long ford, King's County, Tipperary, Limerick, and Kerry ? Were they insensible to the wants and capabilities of their respective counties, or the claims of their constituents? Were they igno rant that, on an average, each of these counties might enjoy the benefit of fifty miles of practicable inland navigation on the main stream of the rives; and without reference to any of the rivers or lakes? If not, why did they not press these conside rations on the attention of the house?' We answer, the reason why "is plain as way to parish church ;" the Shiels, the Barrons, the Baldwyns, and the whole tribe of O's, great and little, are sent to parliament from Ireland to promote other objects than Ireland's good, and, unless she can rid herself of these vermin, she would be better off, her prosperity would be better promoted if she had no representatives at all in the imperial parliament. There are some valuable tables attached to this pam phlet. From these it appears that the sums already ex pended and required for the completion of the Rideau Canal exceed considerably one million sterling, or, as stated officially, for the promotion of water communica tion in Canada. "Now; be it remembered," says the speech, "that Canada is neither in England, nor Ireland, nor Scotland,—and it would really seem necessary to remind honourable members of this fact,—but in North America; - that this same Canada may, sooner or later, as m a nh oo d outgrows the control of infancy and pupilage, and in the natural and unerring march of events, be separated from, and probably hostile to, the mother country; and that if urged too long, this Canada may throw off, perhaps indignantly, what will then be called the unnatural, the galling yoke of continuing subjection." Mr. Williams makes the following observations to show that while we have been encouraging the deve lopment of the resources of Canada, we have neglected, if not discouraged those:of Ireland : " It is stated that when the canal in Canada was begun ; in 1826, the whole population of the 'entire district of two hundred miles in length,.was but one thousand nine; hundred; whereas, we now hear, and as a matter of boast, that on the completion of the works, in 1833, it had increased to twenty thousand. It is not, however, stated how many of these were Irish emigrants,. attracted by the great expenditure on these works; yet we have millions in connexion with 'our Irish "Ottawa," whose 'in crease, however, is there called a calamity. 1 well remember the notices that were posted in.th.e towns in Ireland, by the owners of emigrant ships, and in the American papers, de scribing the certainty of work to be had in Upper Canada, 'and how, - in a short time, each labourer would be enabled to pur chas4,,a farm for himself. I know, also, that numbers were in duced to emigrate, in the certainty of immediate work on this very Canadian canal, and the flattering results they were led to anticipate. I have even seen letters, from some mere labourers, inviting their brethren tojoin them, in-the . certainty of immediate employment. Now, surely, if these works . are deiirable for Canada, and if such are the happy . results that they produced in that country, it will not be' denied that they are equally desirable and worthy of a statesman's consideration for Ireland. Ibideed, these are the navigations add works, and these are the precise results, in reference to the Shannon, which, in the language of Mr. Nimmo, who Hied in the hope, and died in the despair, of seeing this great Irish navigation opened—' Give facilities of access to markets—create a trade where Dente existed before—promote apiculture in the interior —and furnish employment for the poor.'" Two maps illustrative of the author's views are ap- pended to the pamphlet, which we recommend to the attention of our readers. INSTRUCTIONS TO OVERSEERS RESPECTING THE REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS. In the first place you must, on the 20th June, put up a notice on all the church and c hap e l d oors i n y our parish in the form prescribed by the reform act, calling on all electors to deliver in. their claims to vote by the 20th of July. This notice must be signed by all the overseers, and their names had better be written at full length. if you omitted to put up the notice on the 20th June, you must du it the first day afterwards that you find out your error. And you will bear in mind that those electors whose names al ready stand on the registers, as revised last year, need not de liver in afresh claim, if they retain their qualifications and for mer residences. Between the 20th and 31st July, you must write out the re gister, which must contain a copy of the lot year's register, as revised by the barrister with the names of all new claimants who may have delivered you a notice of their claim and paid you one shilling therewith, which must be inserted in the pro per alphabetical order. You must not omit the names of any persons in last year's register, although you know they may be dead, or have removed, or sold their estates since the last revision. But you ought to unite the words "objected to" in the margin opposite to all such names, before you put the list on the church door, that the bar risters may make the necessary corrections. On the two first Sundays in August, you must put a copy of the whole register, containing both old and new names, on all the church and chapel doors in your parish, signed by the overseers as above, and keep an extra copy at your own house, for inspec tion, during the first two weeks in Augnst. Any elector may object to another's qualification, and give you notice thereof on or before the 25th August, when you are to make a list of all objections and put a copy thereof, signed by the overseers, on the church and chapel doors on the _two Sun .lays failing next before the 15th of September. On the 29th of August, you are to deliver your list of voters, with a-written statement of the number of persons objected to, to the high constable of your hundred, who will forward the same to the clerk of the peace. If your parish lies in two hundreds, you must still make but one register, and deliver it to th e hi g h cons t a bl e o f t h a t h un d re d in which the greater part of the parish lies. And when the barristers hold their court for revising the lists in your parish, you must attend them and take with you your copy of the list, also a list of the objections, and all the claims and notices of objection received by you, and after the barrister has i*vised the list you must make your copy correspond with it, anti. preserve it carefully and deliver it over to your successor in office, (bathe may be enabled to make out the next year's register, therefore— If you or your predecessor have not preserved a copy of last years register, you must refer to the printed register book sold by the clerk' of the peace to make out your present year's list. As you are subject to a penalty of £5OO for any wilful negli gence (and which has in sv,ne instance" been enforced) you will do well to consult the parish attorney if you find any difficulty in the matter. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE AND MYSTERIOUS JEWEL 'ROBBERY. A robbery of jewels, of the value of between £B,OOO and £lO,OOO, was discovered to have taken place on last Monday night, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, at the resi dence of the. Earl of Mexborough, No. 33, Dover-street, Piccadilly. The property was safe in the usual place where it was deposited, in the sleeping apartment of her Ladyship, at nine o'clock that evening, as her Ladyship and family went out at that hour to pay a visit, and returned between eleven and twelve o'clock, during which period the robbery was effected. The discovery was made by Lady Sarah Pattenton, • his Lordship's daughter, who, finding some articles displaced, where the valuables were usually deposited, was induced to make further search, and at lem.oh.ascertained that the whole of her own and her mother's jewels were abstracted. Informa tion was immediately forwarded to the Vine-street station-house, and Inspector Abraham, and several active policemen, pro ceeded to Dovei-street to institute an inquiry into the mode by which the robbery had been accomplished. The servants were called up and strictly examined, but all of them denied in the most positive way any knowledge of the robbery. In a short time after the investigation in Dover -street, several boxes and trinket-cases were found in some gardens near Stabhope-street; Mayfair, by a policeman ; they were immediately recognised as having contained some of the lost jewels, and accordingly a more minute search took place. Several other cases were found in the gardens, and also a pair of list shoes, which, there existed every reason to believe. had been thrown there by the thief within a very short period before they were found. From the marks of wheels it was very fairly conjectured that the property had been conveyed away in a cab, and carried otT in the dies- tion of May Fair, where the cases and shoes were got rid of by being .flung over the garden railings. The magistrates at Marlborough-street police office were for sometime yesterday engaged in examining the servants of Lora Mexberotigh and others. The examination was private, and the result was the' remanding of certain females, to 'whom suspicion strongly attaches. Mr. ROEBUCK AND THE PRESS.—The editor of the Public' Ledger has addressed a letter. in his own name, to Mr. noel back, in which is the following passage;—" 1 call on you, Sir, to point out one solitary case, direct or implied, by which you on make.good your ch arv , that I am either corrupt, base, cowardlp or despotic, or that 1 have struck at the reputation of any man. .

This , may be a sign of the times; but it is in a. bad taste. The Princess Tie Beira is the daughter of the late King John VI. of Portugal, the old est ally of the British crown, and who during his lifetime suffered severely through his attachment to us. Since she resided in: England it must be regretted that the Princes's has not experienced that hoSpitality to which her rank arid amiable • manners entitled her.

The speech of Sir Robert Peel, on proposinc , an amendment of the bill for the reform of Municipal Cor porations, to the effect that a certain qualification should be required in the membeis of the governing body, avoided all abstract or theoretic reasoning upon the sub ject, and presented to the House of Commons and the country an admirable display of practical information and statesman-like sagacity. The examples and illustrations by which the right hon.' baronet adorned • and enforced his argument could pot fail to work upon the minds of his auditors the effect which .he intended, namely, to convince them of the justice and the prudence of the amendment which he proposed. But the speech must have had an effect, we imagine, greater even and more extensive than that which it was intended to produce. The argument was meant to show that the proposed amendment was wise and good. What it did really demonstrate was, not only that the amendment was wise and good, but that it was in'thi true and only honourable sense of the word a very popular amendment. Sir Robert Peel pointed out• the kind of municipal government which had been found to work well, and to afford general satisfaction, in all the large towns of England in which a corporation by charter is not established. That government in all its depart ments and in every instance is composed of persons in whom the legislature has required some fi xe d a nd d eter . ; minate qualication, either as Possessors of property to a certain amount or as the occupiers of houses rated at a certain fixed sum per annum. • The boards which super. intend the paving, lighting, watching, and other local affairs in all our large unincorporated towns, without, we believe, a single exception, are constituted, .by act of parliament, upon the principle that some qualification having reference to property is indispensable in the selection of the persons who are to compose them. These boards have generally been found faithful to their trust and efficient in the execution of its duties. They have in very few instances, if in any, afforded cause of complaint or dissatisfaction to the inhabitants at large. Here, then, are fifty examples of legislation for the attainment, of objects either absolutely identical with, or strictly analogous to, those which the Corporation Bill professes to have in view. And every example is , a successful one. Why, it may reasonably be demanded, amidst the blaze of light which these examples shed upon the subject, should government prefer to take an import ant, perhaps an irrevocable, step in a direction where there-is nothing but darkness? Why Strike Out a , new path when there is already in existence a broad • and smooth highway leading directly and securely to the desired object? Why reject all that experience has taught when it has taught so much and so well, for sake of•a blind hazardous speculation ? Why, in a word, prefer chance to certainty--danger to safetv—darkness to light? We can imagine —and this is the only way. of account ing for the course government has determined to pursue in this matter—that Lord John Russell and his colleagues may have expected to secure to their measure a greater degree of popularity by, rejecting the principle of quali fication, than by adopting it. But even this, apology, poor and inadequate as it would be, seems to rest upon no solid foundation. In most of the cases in which the legislature has exacted a qualification for the members of local boards or trusts, the bills were framed and intro dticed to parliament, in pursuance Of.the spontaneous suggestion of the inhabitants of the towns whose affairs were to be subjected to the new management. How can it be doubted that the principle of qualification is a popu lar principle in England when in such a multitude of instances we find considerable portions of the people, not submitting, however, cheerfully, to the application of that principle, in deference merely to the authority and wisdom of the legislature, but distinctly suggesting •to parliament the expediency of adopting and enforcing it, as a valuable guarantee to them that affairs in which they are interested will be faithfully and judiciously adminis tered ? We cannot conceive any other test of the popu larity of a principle so satisfactory and conclusive as that which is afforded by such spontaneous suggestions and applications to the legislature, proceeding from masses Of the people, not at a period or upon an occasion of political' excitement, but • when their minds are occupied exclusively by the calm and sober consideration of what is best f'o'r the general convenience, advantage, and security of the town in which they reside. A division took place on the amendment of 'Sir Robert Peel, when, as is not unfrequentiv the case in the House of Commons, all ,the argument c , liavin been on one side, the majority o f num b ers was found•to'be on the other. • The necessary correction of tire clause.will now devolve upon the Rouse of Lords; and we•do not regret that an opportunity is thus afforded.to their lordships-to do at once a very wise and a very popular thing. We cannot quit•the subject of •the - Municipal Corpora tion Bill without referring our ministerial contemporaries to the explicit acknowledgment of Lord John Russell of the fairness and candour with which ; his political oppo, nents in the House of Commons .trove treated that im portant measure. The ministerial journals have' been labouring incessantly, since the - .bill was first introduced, to impress upon their readers the notion that the Conser;- vative party are desirous to defeat it, or,, if ,that be. int.; possible, to obstruct and delay it as much as possible: They will now find that the leader. of their own party entertains a different opinion; that although a person by no means disposed, as indeed he cannot well afford, to do nlore than justice to his antagonists, he could not do so much less than justice as to withhold. the avOwal that whatever obstruction or delay the bill had experienced, no portion of either could fairly be ascribed - to the opposite side of the house.------Morning Pay/. The new church bill, or rather church abolition bill, for Ireland, is a fair, however melancholy, - illustration, as it is a direct and necessary consequence, of theprinciple on which this ministry came into office. It is a popish meat sure. It is an O'Connell measure. It is a measure which Lord Morpeth vainly attempts to disguise or palliate un der the name of promoting-religious " PEACE," as if op pression were - "peace,"- spirtitttion- " peace," or pro; testant humiliation " peace;' ,or as if popish supremacy ever could bring any peace but that of death to political freedom, to social happiness, or, in what regards the united kingdom, to its union and stability. The tone •Of Lord Morpeth's speech is as promising to popery as are the provisions of his bill. His lordship pretty plainly apologizes to.the landlords for. not robbing the church to a greater extent than. 30 per cent. for their . benefit—the poor, ground-down, ill-treated Irish land lords! and to the " people of Ireland," viz., O'Connell; and Co., for leaving any church at all in th e coun t ry , : which b e a d m it s he does only because be .finds.it there already, since, if he had not, being a "sane man," (?) he never would have dreamed of founding one. This, spirit, we grieve to say, runs through the whole of the; noble viscount's oration. He seems to regard his own . meditated work as a paltry, pusillanimous, over-scrupu lous, ". bit-by-bit" subversion of the established church of Ireland—and casts a deprecating eye to the repealers,: as much as to say, " I would do more for you, if I had not still the prejudices of these d— 'English protestants to deal with." We pass over, without much comment, the first branch of the noble lord's machination—that, namely, which goes to the commutation of tithe, which he manages, after the fashion of his party, to make far more complex, and far less complete, than the bill of Sir' H. Hardinge— seeing that be dabbles in the same payi ng backward and forward, taking away an ell of income from the clergy; and repaying them an inch from some other (and in the present case a non-existing)' source, as in the whigmea ' sure of this time twelvemonth ;---then again throwing the whole principle of redemption overboard, the most solid security of the . church revenue in after times—al, though he' finishes, to do him justice, .with that very sam e plan for remitting 'to the clergy the undistributed frag ment of their million, which"of course they, could not re ply, that very same plan proposed by. Sir; Henry Har dinge; but met by. the..wnig-radicais of last. March with unblushing and inhuman clamour. Well do we : .te 7 collect that night. The whig-radical opposition, amon gst whom then sat I,qrd John Russell, would insist that by the original terms of their grant to the clergy, the, latter were bound-to-repay the million to the Treasury, or as meta of it-as'tbey had received out of the arrear of tithe which they - were' to - recover: 'Yet these whiz-radicals were precisely the persons who declared that not a THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. farthing of tithe arrear could- possibly be .recovered in Irehnd but by military force ; and then—we,pray the reader to mark this—When they were asked whether they would perin'a the soldiery to assist the clergy to collect this, otherwise irrecoverable, !tithe, fOr the purpose of making that payment to the state on which they them selves, the -whigs' (in opposition), insisted, the answer Was " Oh, no, by no means in the world,—not a single file of men!" W e d o not t hi n k t ha t i n the records of faction any thi ng ever yet pa i se d so cruel towards .the clergy as what we have now brought to mind, nor any thing, following up such a fact, so audacioUs as the pre sent proposition of Lord Niorpeth, under the eye of the &'irne English nation. But there remains the novel part of the noble lord'i bill—we might say; without meaning •a pun, the. romantic part,• for , sure we are that such a farrago can never have any real existence—to wit, that which directs the distribution, a word synonymous, we take for grahted, with dispersion of the revenues of the church. What! when one eryiag evil of the established church has been the inadeqnate•payment of the effective clergy, and the gross injury to the service of religion, as well as grievance upon the ministers' themselves, thus perpe trated, the remedy propounded by this whig friend and • patron of protestantism is the creation of a new hierarchy of clerical serfs and paupers, ranging from £5 per annum —abOue one-twelfth part of the stipend and perquisites of an omnibus cad —up to £7O alear, about. the wages :Of a gentleman's upper ser v a n t, on ly that the latter ha§ • his board and lodging besides. Well might Sir R. Peel exclaim against the barbarity of setting down a clergy man so educated as to be capable of teaching the doc trines of christianity on an income of £7O a-year ! What, then, shall we say to 1.:5q. a.-vear ?—and £lO a.:year ? and £5 a-year ? But :till more stupid is the expectation that for the highest of the sums .now named any compe tent clergymen will be found, more especially in an esta blishment of which the larger livings are to he almost Universally cut down to the maximum of £3OO per an num, and which therefore will present no hope or. pros pect to men of liberal education of ever being promoted to a competency. Why, look at the modest, frugal hum ble, much (and justly) praised church of Scotland. The average incomes of that church exceed considerably £2OO per annum. The incomes of the popish clergy of Ireland average a good deal more than £2OO per. annum. And here we have a faction whose members4o not call them selves infidels, though a large portion of them are papists, listened to by a British protestant parliament, when they dare talk of doling out to the clergy of our. national church militant in Ireland, with a. hostile power, pittances disgraceful to be named by an English minister as fit re munerations for performing the offices Of our religion ! If, under the subtle influence vvhichnow reigns paramont in the councils of our protestant King, if we say, under the influence of the College-green legislator, the decent existence of the protestant clergy is to be crushed, and the popish priests of Ireland are to press their clouted heel upon the prostrate bOdies of our pastors, no.longer hating them for their access to the society of gentlemen, but scorning and spitting on them for: the abject. poverty and misery into which they have fallen, let us be told that such is the policy of the O'Connell Cabinet, and we shall be prepared for the worst, whether to bow our head's or to bare our sinewy arms. Appropriation of a surplus indeed! Hideous mockery ! Where all is melted into surplus, we ask is this what the Whig-radical O'Con nell ministers had taught the country to expect? We ask again, is this what the country will endure ? or what protestant Ireland, that En&lish garrison ima beleaguered fortress, 'will tolerate without more than murmurs? A. surplus, forsooth! . Why, do as Sir Robert. Peel admo nished you, —pay• the clergy of the protestant church with even parsimonious prudence, give them an ave r a ge of but £250 a - year , scarcely sufficient for the naked wants of life, and where will be this mighty surplus? , It is a shadow, or a bit of moonshine—which you will—but with nothing tangible in it, nothing real. Away with pluralities, as Sir Robert Peel advises. Away with sine cures. DiSenCumber the church, but do not starve her. This popish bill will never pass through a civilized or even half-educated parliament; and if the.whig-radicals are to stand or fall with it, wby then they will infallibly fall together.--,•Times. I The nomination of the candidates for the representa tion of . Ayr s hi re t oo k p l ace. on Saturday. In our first .page a 'full report is given of the proceeding s on thi s im portant occasion. F.w elections in the west of Scotland have excited a deeper interest than the present contest betwixt sound conservatism and rank whig-radicalism- Our hopes. are indeed most sanguine,.that, notwithstand ing all the ruffianism and intimidation which the minis terial candidate can any day command, the good cause will trinhoph. Every friend of the church in Kyle, Cun ningham and Carrick, ought to strain thei r , ever y, nerve to secure the ' re t urn o f Sir John Cathcart. They al ready see, from the conduct of ministers towards the established church in Ireland, their utter subjugation to O'Connell and his papistical tail, that protestantism is threatened with extinction.

DAVID HUME AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION In the year 1763,`the celebrated Infidel, David Hume, compared with whom the Infidels of our day, in point Of intellectual stature and attainments, are timid and imbecile dwarfs—was reaping the harvest of his bad fame. in Paris.. Writing to a friend in Britain, he says : —"Here I eat nothing but ambrosia, drink nothing but nectar, breathe nothing but incense, and trend on nothing but flowers.— I feel little inclination to the factious bar barians of London."—Who would imagine that in this elysium of our Arch-Infidel, and, in the very hour he wrote this pompous sentence, that his opinions, and those of his fulsome flatterers, were ripening..to all.the horrors of revolutionary phrenzy ! Hume moved in the politest of the Parisian circles; among them the demon of -unbe lief had found a distinguished place; and the accomplished jadies of Paris did, What se, vulgar women have: done With us,—avowed themselves infidels! The consequences too soon appeared. Not many years after, the French, a people celebrated 'through the earth for their suavity and politeness, were suddenly trans formed into democratic fiends. All softer passions were swallowed up in one boundless appetite for blood. *Mur der was aided by . mechanical skill, and thirteen heads were severed in one short minute. So fixed and indulged was the passion for slaughter, that a solitary or dual execution would not collect a crowd; — it was, only. when numbers. bled, that spectators could be obtained.

We have only 7 tiine, to announce. the arrival of our spirited friend frem'Regent-street. He being . the first of the batch which has come to hand, is entitled to the first notice. We give the following lengthy extract from a very able article. It appears to us very d .abtful - whether the conservative mem bers of the Hoese of Lords. have yet taken a correct view of _their present position. That position has been entirely changed within the last four years. In former times it was their practice to leave the main part of the legislation of the country to be performed by th e i r agen t s i n t h e House of Commons. In those; days'the lower house was the arena in which the three estates met, and in which the .chief business of law-making was gone through. The peers, by their borough nominees, and the crown, by its borough arrangements, were present in the House of Commons, and influenced its movements, not in opposition to, but in concurrence with a large body of popular representa tives. The E;li n b urg h ,Reeiew , in several elaborate arti c l es, • exhibited the u se an d b eauty of this arrangement. But it has pleased the whips to trample du their former creed, and to put an en tir e e n d - to this system. "What follows ? Surely and most .obviously this:—that the peers, having no longer their agents and nominees in the lower house to aid in the progress of legislation, must now address.thernselves in good earnest to the work, and must become, if they would preserve their own importance and their own existence, a watchful, pains taking committee of revision, amending and improving the hasty and crude legislation of the lower house. The power which has unquestionably been .added of late to the House of Commons, by .its increased. connexion with the, people, will render it hazardous and scarcely prudent for the: peers to exercise with, any frequency their abSolute veto on mea sures proposed and agreed to hy the commons. Nor is it in the least necessary that 'they should do so. A hasty glance over the last four years will ;how with how easy and moderate an exercise of their undoubted rights they may effect all that is really desirable. Sir John Hobhouse's bill, which at once threw down all the ancient select vestries, and opened the dominion "of our largo parishes to the mob and their leaders, was carried up to the House of Lords in 1831. - That bill, as it has actually come into operation, is fraught with all kinds of mischief. 'Yet one teration of the simplest, easiest, and most unobjectionable kind would have rendered it Loth harmless and beneficial. Had the lords only insisted,, not upon the six votes of Sturges Boutne's bill, but upon merely a double vote for all householders rated at £5O and upwards, the result would have been almost nu.: mixed good, instead df being, as it.now is, alidost unmixed evil, , How trifling and how easy the iinproveinent! but how vast would have been the diffe'rence made in the operation of the bill! With that alteration the mob would every where have been overruled;* without it we now see the mob every where victorious. , Thus for want of one single amendment, which might have been carried with ease, and which would not have so far altered the bill as to make it unacceptable to its anthors, that mea.ure was allowed to remain a bad one, fraught with rnischio s re suits, which might have been iila'single sitting changed into a sale and efficacious piece of legislation. • • But a 'etillinore striking instance of an opportunity lost was given iu the : passage, of the -reform bill., .The ivajurity of the House Ofl'eers apprehended that measure to be fraught with, the most dangerous tebdencies,, and they exercised their un doubted privilege by rejecting the measure. In the following year it was again laid on their table. That they taken an' exaggerated v i ew o f t h e d angers connected with it is now clear from the circumstance, that the second election which took place alter the passing of that bill (the English reform bill) re tuxjjoil for Eugland a majority of conservatives. However, clangorous or hot, being again brought before the lords witlith concurrence of the sovereign and a' large majority of the .House of Commons, it was no longer possible for the upper house to meet it with : a sipipl.e negatiye. right course:was to accept the measure as.a whole, and to make such moderate amendments in it as would-operate to lessen. the dreaded evils. , But ,this course was - not taken. A hostile attitude was assumed, aifd thus the lords were placed in a situati on w hi c h it was i mposs ibl e for them to maintain, and from which they.cottld not retire with. honour. The ministry took advantage of this false step, and forced them to surrender at, discretion. The. opportunity of amending the, bill was lost, and the only optionieft them. was to accept the measure us it,stood, or to be themselves annihilated by a new creation. At the preaent Moment, looking back on the whoje, proceed ing, and recollecting that, with the reform act as it passed un amended, the electioli.of January last, gave the conftervAtiyes inangland a clear majority, it b ecomes a ma tt er , npt. of. PP position, but of certainty, that, if the lords had abandoned, boeci fide, all opposition to the bill, and had merely demanded that iii the towns of the first class the franchise shouldbe £2O, and that the. borough freeholders should not vote in county elections; the result would have been that we should have had at this moment a conservative, majority of .one hundred in the lipase of Com mons. And theie two points might have been gained with ease. Neither of them would have amounted to such h clear and posi tive attack upon -the bill as to have given the opportunity to Lord, Grey to . tender his resignation,, or to demand a new' cre ation of peers. These points might have been gained; and, hail they been :so gained„the country,wonld be at this moment in a comparatively sound and peaceful state. Such hare been some of the errors committed within the last , three or four years. A calm retrospective consideration of them will surely show the leading members of the House of Lords the Course in which it will be their wisdom to walk for the future: They may expect, a variety of propositions, some o f an encroaching and levellin g c h aracter, from the powerful repub lican party now in the douse of, CoMmons; and others of a moderate character from the whig ministers now in alliance ivith that republican party. A proposition of each description Is now in progress through the, lower house. The .first. is , that pf Colonel Evans for abolishing the provision in Sturges Bourne's vestry act which gives a plurality of votes in vestry Meetings to the higher classes of rate-payers. This is an open and barefaced attack on the rights 'of_ property, and should be met by an instant and un h es i tat i ng rejection. 'The second is a more insidious proceeding, and is of a more mixed character. It is a proposition for limiting the poll at contested elections to a single day. Now this measure is partly unjust and mischiev ous, and partly unobjectionable. It is unobjectionable as far as cities and boroughs are concerned. Here the voters must be all generally resident in or near the place of election, since occupc!ncy, not property, confers the right' of voting; and, as a man is seldom a resident in two boroughs at the OatPutime, (excepting, perhaps, contiguous boroughs, like Finsb or y an d 11larYlebone,) he cannot be deprived of his vote in o ne pl ace by it having . to give in another. But in counties the case islividely different; and here lies the real, though, concealed object, slf this insidious measure. It is confessed by all the, Whigs and radicals that men of property are generally conservatives. Such men have frequently votes for different cou n ti es , suc h as Bedfordshire .and Kent, or Mid dlesex and Devonshire, or frequently more: If, therefore, all the- elections can be made to fall on one day, or nearly so, the effect will be that most of these. double votes will, be lost. But all, .this is net merely •undesirable, as, diminishing the 'strength of ihe conservative party, but it is also clearly unj us t. The law andthe constitution a nnex th e coun t y vote to property : residence is not the test. ' A that, therefore, who has th'e means, and who chooses to buy an estate in Kent, and another in Herts, and another in Cheshire; has a perfect right, according to the theory and practice of the 'constitution; to vote in each o f those counties. If you so arrange matters, therefore, as to make it impossible for him to exercise this franchise, you do him a a plain, palpable, undeni a bl e wrong. This part Of the bill, therefore, their lordships must remove, or they will at once desert their duty and betray their own interests. But all these are minor points, however important in them selves, compared with that one measure which the,ministry . have declared to be the great leading feature of the present session— the one object for which every thing, else is to be postponed. We allude, of course; to the corporation reform bill. This measure ought to be received in the House of Lords, as it was in the House of Commons, (as to its main ontlines,) with a unanimous assent. True, it is introduced simply and solely from party motives mules a party manoeuvre, in the hope that it would either meet with the opposition of the• conservative party. at the outset, and would thus involve: them in a storm of .unpopularity, or would, if allowed to pass, utterly destroy . their hold upon all the leading boroughs. Still, however despicable may have been the motives which have given rise to it, the pro position is a good one, or, rather, is capable of being made a good one; and as such it ought , to be received with cordiality and amicable feelings. To attempt to maintain with,pertinacity a system of self-election and monopoly in the present day is altogether absurd. One great object among us ought to be the rendering the 'people every where comfortable and contented. This is the most, effectual, or, rather, the only effectual way of spreading and fostering a conservative feeling. Let them see practically that there is no party desirous of keeping up ancient abuses, and their jealepsy aud towards the higher classes will gradrially subside. The corporation' Worth' bill, then, in its great leading fea tures, is a good, and desirable measure. It is just and right to terminate all the old, and various, and Arbitrary ways of consti tuting a corporation, and to substitute in their room one simple, rational, and uniform system. But in so doing be careful as to your details, for in these consist the real efficiency, for good or evil, of the measure. The principle of the bill now before par liament is good; but some of its provisions are 'as absurd and some of them as dangerous as it is possible for provisions to be made. Here, then, is an especial occasion in which the House of Lords may prove its efficiency and its utility. If they should reject this measure at starting, the effect would be to raise a cry of " anti-reformers" and " maintainers of ancient abuses," and to give the whig a pretext for foisting another score of their creatures in the peerage. If, on the other hand, they should indolently and carelessly allow it to pass just in the shape in which th e commons may present i t; or i f. j the conservative ma- ority, through want. of organization and unanimity, should allow the . ministerial minorityto out-vote lir out-manoeuvre them, then the effect on the minds'of a large portion of the conservatives throughout the country will be to suggest a doubt whether the upper house is really of any tae? ROMAN. CATHOLICISM IN , EDINBURGH. • Our readersniust have perused, with as, much disgust at regret, an extract in-our last from the Edinburgh Observer, headed " St. AlarFarers—Siaters.of. Charity,-Admission of Novices." We say disgust and regret, that the powerful progress of popery-in this country, and the re-Appearapce of its mummeries, ig land, are described not only . in a spirit of irreligious,levity, but of pain and open approbation. It is a meloneholy proof alike of • the 'ignorance and irreligion of this (falsely callO) en lightened-age—that not content with an amateur description of these popish mummeries, the writer has the boldness to give an indirect .censure of our glorious reformation, which swept away those deus of vice and ignorance, of sloth and sensuality, which still disgrace and degrade many regions of Europe, and of Whose restor a ti on Edi n b u r g h i s now ' g i ving the fair promise'. The following passages are more like the mawkish luctibrations of some cloistered monk or half-fledged - infidel, than-of a Scottish Presbyterian whig "The tim es have changed, when- in presbyterian Scotland, , from whOse soil the fury of the reformation had swept away every monastic and conventual establishment, one of these pro scribed institutions - has at length, at the distance of three cen turies, ventured to rear its head, in all the security afforded by . 1 the tolerant spirit of a more enlightened and beneficent age. This event was, on Tuesday week, signalized by the solemn dedication of St. Margaret's, where, in its beautiful Saxon chapel, the chef d'ttuare of Gillespie Graham, was at the same time performed the. interesting and affecting ceremony of ad mitting three young persons, who then entered their noviciate, into the community of the Sisters of Charity. The company present was not numerous, but select, and the scene appeared to make the deepest impression upon all who witnessed it, The whole of this imposing ceremonial, new in Scotland, occupied nearly three hour s, but it was regar d e d throughout w ith un diminished interest and attention ,by all present, amongst whom were a considerable number of Protestants." We have a strong suspicion that the article in question is the effusion of a papist, or of some one very nearly allied to a papist. Why should liberal men not bestow a little of their .praise of popery on the holy wells of Ireland, the miracles of Hohenlohe and Dr. M`Hale ? Why do they permit in silence the whole sale overthrow of convents, and the . plunder of monks and nuns, in Portugal, and anticipate with joy similar scenes in Spain? Why not chaunt a miserere? We' should doubt very much of the genuine quality of the "considerable number of prOtestants," on whom this folly, the prelude of something worse, "made a deep impression." We trust the recent expus4 at Exeter Hall will open4he eyes of all who are not blind, to the unchanging and unchangeable deformity of popery, under all its veils and masks. We believe that, the press of this country is much under. the influence of that sou l-d estroy i ng system. y We know also, that the article "Bible" in a certain great national En cyclopwdia, was, after being revised by an eminent iainisterand scholar of the church of Scotland, subjected to the pruning -knife_ of certain popish dignitaries in Ireland, who exact this privilege on all articles affecting popery, as the price of their permission to its free circulation in Ireland. Protestants must look to the signs of the times. We fear our Sdottish dissenters, by their encouragement of popery and liberalism, are endeavouring to purchase, at . too dear., a rate, the overthrow of the establidied . church.—Scottish Guardian. THOMAS MOORE'S NEW MELODIES. We insert the following beautiful verses as a specimen of a new set of songs just published by Mr. Moore. There are twelve of them, and we think ,that they are among: the best efforts of the most graceful and fanciful of, English lyric poets. If than .would'st have,me sing and play, As once I played,andsung, First take this tune-w orm lute away, And bring one freshly sliung. Call back the time when Pleasure's sigh First breath'd among the string s; And Time himself, in flitting by, Made music with his wings. Take, take the worn-out lute away, And bring one newly strung, If thou would'sthavc me sing and play As once I play'd and sung. But how is this? though new the lute, ,And shining fresh the chords, Beneath this hand they slumber mute, Or speak but dreamy words. In vain I seek the soul that dwelt • Within that once sweet shell, Which told so warmly what it felt, And felt—What nought could tell. Oh ask not, then, for passion's lay Prom lute so coldly strung; With this.l ne'er - can sing or play As once I played and, sung.
