LONDON. 1171IDAr, NOV. 18.

Tue first attempt at a public dinswastration in
favour of the old system of minds in Italy does not
appear to hays been particularly smasseafid. It was
appropriately held under the immediate ampicce of
Archbishop CULLEN, who distrusting, we presume,
the oratorical resources of his followers, and not
choosing to commit hie legatina dignity to the
stormy contingencies of a miscellaneous assemblage,
seat hie speech in the form of a letter of to ordinary
length, and which was read at the outset of the
proweedidge by way of setting the affair going.
Before, indeed, the archiepiscopal adjuration was read
an address was delivered by Tee 0.1)01,1100111:6 ce
taking the chair. A more infiammatory harangue
we have seldom reed, or on. more indicative of a de-
sire to widen the breach between already alienated
creeds and races. As the grand nephew of Mon-
au., the hon. member takes to demagoguism kindly ;
sad as representative of the *minty of Tipperary
allowance ought to be made, perhaps, for the com-
bative tendency of his tooe. We regret, however,
to see a young man, not without promise of better
things, lending Weigel( to a cry at once illiberal and
unpatriotic. We have never complained of the
party support which he, and others like him, have
given in Parliament to domestic Toryiers. If his res-
t▪ ituents are really persuaded that the indiscriminate

ejector of the people of Loon, and his legislative
supporters io both Houses, are likely to proposed
better law., and to administer them more equally
than their liberal rivals, by all means let them as-
tinue to swell the ranks of Derby-ism in the time to
some as they have done in times past. Bat we do
think it deplorable that men of ordinary informa-
tics and intellipace should use their position as
ropreeestativeis of a 100 g-oppressed Catholic com-
munity to aid in nvetting the fetters of a
Catholic people, of whose actual sufferings and
wrongs these who seed them to Pa:boniest can
know bat little, if aught. If the sympathy of the
British Government were asked or offered by a
Protestant nation against Catholic rulers, whatever
the true merits of the ease might be, there would be
more semblance of reason in the outcry sought to
be raised in Ireland at the bidding of the ultra-
montane prelacy. Bat every well-informed person
knows that the questioa now pending beyond the
Alpe is sot ose of religioa, bat of politics: not one of
orthodoxy, but of nationality : not one of belief, but
of liberty. There is not a man in arms against the
misgovernment of A N Tom xu.t and his associates who
calls himself a Protestant; and it is notorious that
many of the most enthusiastic partisans of political
reform in the Peninsula are devout members of the
Roguish Church. It is a mere delusion to prettied
the contrary, and we are driven to believe that
party objects and electioneering influences eater
largely into the views of many who lead themselves
in Ireland to the ecclesiastical agitation it is now
sought to create.

If anything were wanting to confirm this view it
would be the presence and prominence at the meet-
ing of Monday last of Mr. HEigNILINY, the Tory
Member for the King's County, and Mr. J. F.
Mumma, the Derby-its representative of Dittmar-
van. It may be thought, perhaps, a good sign of
the Mate of feeling among the Catholic laity of the
metropolis of Intend, that in order to make any.
thing of a show on the seession referred to, the latter
gentleman had to be rant for from Cork, and the
former from London. Mr. HeNter.a.sr, indeed,
volunteered the declaration that had it been neces-
sary he would have come from the other end of Eu-
rope to make the speech he then made, the principal
items of which were the announcement that hie
friend Mr. 1/14a.itil was the greatest statesman in
Parliament, and that volunteer corps of Inch Catho-
lics could, would, and should be raised to re-imprison
the inhabitanta of the Romagna if Aastrian and
French soldiers should fail to do so. Ws must say
that the elect gentleman of the Tory proprietors of
the King's County does not show discretion in these
partisan utterances. Whatever our own notions on
the subject may be, the enfant cheri of the Carlton
ought not to be so outspoken in has personal pre-
ferences. Lord Dense may not be jealous, but Bir
JOHN PAKIN4TON and Mr. NZWIPILOATZ are very
likely to be so, at haring the somber for Bucks pat
over their heeds in this wanton way. As for the
highly constitutional project of levyieg arms within
the kingdom to take part with a foreign Govern-
meta against its own people, without the lease, and
contrary to the policy of our own, it is bat
too certain that the rash and ran-a-Itiad
Member for the King's County must and will be
summarily repudiated by the beloved leader whom
he has incontinently embarrassed by his inoppor-
tune praise. " I am coming to the bayonets," said
the hoe. gentleman, in reply to an interruption in
the midst of his fervid harangue. We doubt it, Mr.
HILXXISST, and upon the briefest reflection we sus-
pect that most sober people will concur with us in
thinking that the meeting the other night at the
Rotunda 'STOWn far rnwe of a design to execute a
dunk mw.-tment is support of Derbliarn next ese-

Mon. than of any honest dream of seeding a Whin-
torr Contingent to aid the Austrians and the pots
in the out campaign.

Some misgiving that the movement might be
turned to aooount in this way contributed probably to
muse the abe•eos of individuals who, like Mr. Mom
O'FritRALL, entertain what we cannot but deem an
exaggerated apprehension of the danger of the
Port's ceasing to be spiritually independent, in case
be were &somber's/mid of the political control of
amain provinces disaffected to his sway. We
freely admit that with many millions of Catholic
subjects the Government of this country would not
easily be contented were his Holiness to become a
stipendiary at Vienna, or a prisoner on parole at
Fontainebleau. But it does not follow that Pio
NoNo should become either the one or the other,
because Bologna should break the thrall which Lord
CASTLEREAGH more than any Catholic politician or
prelate contributed to throw over her at the Con-
gress of 1815. Mr. Mori OTRaRALL is a strong
Catholic, but he is also a strong Whig, and hence
we hod him singling out poor Lord ELLENBOROUGH
for attack, as a specimen of the heretical
statesmen of England, because of his recent
letter about GARIBALDI, addressed to Lord
Bloointa.d. He will no doubt have been amused,
if not edified, at the energetic piece of •vision in
which the last-named learned personage has replied
to the noble Earl; but surely the ex-Governor of
Malta understands too well the tone of the clam to
which Lord ELLENBOROUGH belongs seriously to
fear that his example as a subscriber to purchase
arms of precision for the Italian General is very
likely to prove contagious. The party to whom his
Lordship belongs was, up to the hour in which it fell
hem power, devoted to the cause of Austrianiam in
Italy; but the right hon. Member for Kildare was
not misled thereby into helping them to keep
*Moe, nor is he likely now to fall into line for the
purpose of bringing them back at the word of com-
mand of Tea (YDONOGEUZ, lately holding the nom-
mission of Major in the Queue' Militia, but now
promoted to the rank of Generalissimo of the anti-
Italian Volunteer', vim J. F. MAGUIRE superseded.
It IS a curious illustration of the consistency and
coherency of the movement that the mot crordre given
by the new Commander on assuming his functions
was the young Ireland rhyme of " Stand together,"
the authorship of which is commonly ascribed to
Joss MaculLL.
