we cannot avoid expressing our delight that the
distressed state of the Agricultural Interest was very
properly and very feelingly alluded to in both.
Houses. Lord Castlereagh has accustomed us to
novel figures of speech—he has talked of " a man
standing prostrate'—of " turning his hack upon
himself"—and he last night stated that he " was
delighed at the d►sappointment." We do not under-
stand the Irish language, but we think this is
not English,
Petitions fur the restitution of her Majesty's
name to the Liturgy pour forth into both houses of
Parliament, from all quarters—this is as it should
be, and we hope the people will not be treated with
that sort of contumely that would oblige them to
convince their Rulers that Petitioners neglected have
another method of enforcing attention. His Grace
the Duke of Wellington declared, in the House of
Lords, that the I lampshire away Meeting was a
Circe—we sincerely believe that such Meetings arc
farces which his Grace and his countryman, Lord
Castlereagh, would gladly get ri.i of; and we know
no two men more likely to hold the same opinion of
both Houses of Parliament, or to give their fiat
towards the adoption of (in their estimation) the
fur preferable mode of a military, absolute, and
despotic Government.

who translated it: the only passage worthy of notice
is the one subjoined, where this woman, before she
was bribed to speak falsely of her Royal beneflictress,
describes her as tnllows:—" At three o'clock in the
afternoon we broke up our tents, and the same even-
ing, at nine o'clock reached Jerusalem. At our
entry. the people assembled in crowds to see the
Princess of Wales, who rode upon an ass. This
circumstance recalled to me strongly the day of
Palms (Palm Sunday) on which our Saviour made,
in the same manner, his entry into Jerusalem. I
imagined 1 beheld him, and inwardly made com-
parisons: for, assuredly, it'any one can in any way
resemble our great Saviour, it is this exeelle,,t
Princess. She is, like him, charitable, mild, and
beneficent to all : she has suffered much, and always
supports her misfortunes with grz..ut patience and
resignation ; and, like hint, she has not &set red
them.*
