SIR F. POLLOCK A.ND THE IRISH CHURCH.

To the Editor of the Obeerrer."

Stn,—Permit me to call the attention of your readers
to the following opinion of that eminent legal authority
Sir F. Pollock, ex-Chief Baron, on the subject of the
Irish Church, contained in a letter written by him during
the late election. The letter was addressed to the Con-
servative candidate for Middlesex, and in it he said:—
" I intend to vote f ;r you at the next election fin Middle-
sex, but I wish to add a word or two as to my reason
for so doing, especially as while I was Attorney-G nen,'
under Sir Robert Peel's Government I regretted the re-
lation in which the United Church stood to the great
majority of the people of Ireland. But the United Na-
tional Church was establish, d at the union of England
and Ireland, which, politically speaking, was the joint
act of two independent kingdoms agreeing, by the King,
lords, and Commons of each, to become one kingdom
with one united National Church. To disturb that
solemn arrangement at is week's notice by a mere resolu-
tion of the House of Commons, without any notice to
or communication with the Howie of Lords, appears to
me the most daring and unconstitutional proceeding that
has occurred since the reign of Charles I. The Long
Parliament voted the House of Lords useless, and pro-
ceeded to carry on the government without them ; and,
as the party to which Mr. Gladstone now belongs has
been in office above 111 years, and lie himself six or eight
years, without dreaming of this before, I think the pro'
penal when made must be ascribed to a reckless and sel-
fish arubition—to a desire for place at any price. 'this
id my reason for voting for your lordship, and I state it
here the rather because I am too old to avail myself of
any opportunity of atating it anywhere else."
I am, Sir, yours

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—ltheumatism and
rheum die goat are the most dreaded of all diseased, be.
case their victims know that they are safe at no season,
and it no age secure. llolloway's Ointment, after font.
entation of the painful pgrts, gives greater relisf than
any other application, but it must be diligently used to
obtain this desirable result. It has been highly corn•
mended by rheumatic subjects of all ages and of both
sea,. for rendering their attacks less frequent and less
rigorous ; and for repressing the sour peripirations and
soothing the nerves. In many cases Holloway's Oint-
ment ard Pills have proved the greatest blessings in re-
moving rheumatism and rheumatic gout, which had as-
sailed persons previously healthy and in the prime of
life.

THE MANEFACTARE OP WATCHES AND CLOCK S.—A
most interesting and instructive little work, describing
briefly, but with great clearness, the rise and progress
of watch and clock making, has just been published by
Mr. J. W. Benson, of 95, Old Bind Street, 99, West-
b iurne Grove, and the City Steam Factory, 59 and SO,
Ludgate Hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated,
gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make
purchase without visiting the above establishments or
consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons
residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or
the Colonies, are eLabled to select for themselves the
watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to
them with perfect safety. Mr. Lenses, who hulls the
appointment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamph-
let to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and
we cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of
the intending purchaser.
