out any intervention whatever. Mr. Abererunby de-
dared the subject was one of the deepest interest and
importance to Ireland. If there was one subject more than
another (the Honourable Gentleman said) on which the
warmest feelings, not only of the inhabitants of Ireland
but of every people throughout the globe, were excited
deeply, it was on the solemn and agitating one of the in-
terment of their dead. Mr. Grattan alluded strongly to
the conduct of the present Archbishop of Dublin on that
occasion, whose first act (he said) on attaining high power,
was to offer a deadly insult to the people of IrelantL
this painful question (Mr. Grattan added) was not set at
rest, every funeral in Ireland might be a melancholy scene
of tumult and blood. Mr. Peel opposed the production of
,
mese papers, on the ground that they were not calculuM
to elucidate the main question, on which he should reserve
;Lis opinion. Sir John Newport having pressed his motion
to a division, the question was lost by a majority of 17;
39 voting for the production of the correspondence, and se
against it. We have dwelt upon this discussion, !stemma the
subject, as was truly stated in the House, is one of
the most deep and painful interest : it festers at the Illy
hearts of the Irish people, and produced for months in
that country the most embittered feelings. That no sanc-
tion was given by the Marquis Wellesley, or those around
him, to the uncharitable measures of hostility that disturbed
the repose of the dead, and insulted the Catholic over the
graves of their deceased friends, we have the strongest
assurances. How far the Archbishop of Dublin lent his
authority to those who were the authors of these bad acts
is another question ; his friends have denied his particips.
tion, and we sh Auld be glad to think it was so. No teat.
quillity can settle in Ireland, if measures of this baleful
description are tolerated; no acts could be devised more
calculated to wound the feelings of the people in general,
and create universal irritation and disgust. The question
of the right of burial, according to the solemn ceremonies
of their own Church, will be brought before Parliament
this Session, on the general petition of the Catholics. The
repeal of the statutes of William, which proscribe their
funeral rites within the church-yards, will, we trust, take
place. Though the body of penal laws still existing
against them may be suffered to blot the statute boot,
it cannot be the wish of Government, or the Legislature,
wantonly to insult, in their dearest and most solemn rights,
an entire people. iVe trust the day is not far distant
when the whole unhappy system that for ages has covered
Ireland with proscription and misery, will at length cease,
and Ministers perceive the policy of really conciliating so
many millions of people; thus performing an act of solemn
justice to them, and adding greatly to the strength and
prosperity of the entire empire.

to him to release as much of the yet heavy burthens '

A Copy of the R solutions passed by the Magistrates
Stafford, in behalf of their brother Magistrate, is '
of " The King r. Charles Flint," together with
from Mr. Abram Flint (his brother) to Sir JOHN
TESLEY, Bart. M.P. for Stafford, will be found in
part of our l'aper. The Resolutirins, we regret
bear stronger ma; ks of conjoint contrivance than
reflection. It could not have been difficult fur MI
wynd to procure such a testimonial from the boil:.
Magistracy to which he belongs. He must necessm
have been in habits of public intercourse and of Eli
timacy with them all. At County Miming', and at
dinners, they must have oftentimes pledged each
bumpers, with great joyousness, and no doubt wi
sincerity. They are guided, cne and all, by the
party feelings, and governed by the same political
plea. They have an interest in supporting each otl
their inclinations and habits lean that way. We
disposed to blame all this in the abstract ; it is it
nature that it should be so. These resolutions
as they discover an anxiety to cover up the itnperf,
of a fellow-magistrate, or to brighten his reputation,
donable enough. An attestation to merit, in sued
must be considered as a pie-sic contribution to a
cause ; for it is as true of the body politic as of thi
body. that " where one member suffers all the
BUST with it." But it is, after all, somewhat bencat
dignity of a Magistrate and an M.P. to reply to
went of facts by the production of a certificate of

take the world as we find it, anti pardon somethit

Magistrates of Mr. Chetwynd may put their apps
