pressed by any tongue or Pen but their own.
The organ of Dublin Castle and Derrinane, con-
fessing, as it is compelled to confess, that measures
from tin Administfation supported by such a ma-
jority as Ministers will hare in the next Parliament
arc entirely out of the question, has the modesty to
say that there is in Ireland a satisfactory substitute
for Parliamentary measures in the men who now al-
minister its affairs. In Ireland the Lord Lieutenant
is a measure, Lord Morpeth is a measure, Lord Plun-
ket is a measure, the Attorney-Geneial is a measure,
nay, even Mr. Drummond is a measure. Here is a
set of measures for the satisfaction of a nation ! With
these, what occasion for the turmoil of an election, or
for the deliberation of Parliament ? Is a mitigation
of the criminal code thought expedient—what measure
can mitigate so completely as a Lord Lieutenant, who,
in his progresses throughout the country, turns the key
of the prison doors, and sends forth felons and murderers
by wholesale, to plunder and terrify the community ?
Is it desired that the right to any description of pro-
perty should be suspended or annulled—what measure
can attain the end so certainly as a Secretary of the
Government who forbids the public force to assist in the
execution of the law? Is it required to stimulate the exer-
tions of public servants by augmenting their rewards—
what measure can be so efficient as the example of a
Lord Chancellor, who seizes or creates a good place for
each of his spns, sons-in-law, nephews, and cousins ?
It is not quite se easy to point out the particular mea-
sures of which the Attorney-General and Mr. Drum-
mond are severally the representatives. There care be
little doubt, however, that each will in due season select
for himself the department of moral legislation which
best suits his talents or his convenience, and, after the
example of his superiors, cultivate it with proper dili-
gence and unfailing success. British patriots have
attempted to persuade their countrymen to regard mea-
sures, and not men. The patriots who now compose
the Government of Ireland are of a more enlightened
class. They teach the doctrine, the wise and disin-
terested doctrine, that the people should overlook mea-
sures and attach themselves only to men—that is to
say, to Lord Mulgrave, Lord Morpeth, Lord Plunket,
the Attorney-General, and Mr. Drummond. "In
Ireland these men are measures." Such is the em-
phatic typography of the journal which enjoys their
confidence and obeys their commands.—Morning Post.
If we may believe sound Whig authority, the doom
of the Established Church is pronounced, its fate is
fixed, time sentence of extermination has gone forth
against it, its days are numbered. Its offence is
great ; and we are assured that its punishment shall
be commensurate with its offence, and that not a par-
ticle
of that punishment shall be remitted. Do our
readers wish to know its crime? 'We tremble as we
tell it ; but it must be told. Be it then known that the
Church of England has refused t• bow down to the
Dalton of Popery and Whiggery united, and to wor-
ship the image of brass and clay which the Ministers
of the Queen have set up I Therefore have Lord
Melbourne, the discourager of Protestantism, and
Lord John Russell, the Socinian, and Mr. Spring
Rice, the anythingarian, and their colleagues—all
men worthy of scats in the O'Connellised Cabinet—
decreed that the Church of the reformed religion shall
suffer the fate of " the virgin daughter of Zion" when
she fell into the hands of the Assyrians,- that she shall
1, be a captive and spoiled, and " shall sit in the dust,
and no more be called tender and delicate." We find
the solemn and terrible sentence of Whiggery against
the Church of the reformed faith, which the Queen
has plighted her virgin troth to maintain, as esta-
blished by law, recorded in a Whig journal in the
following words :
" It is impossible that this enlightened nation should
long tolerate such an anomalous contrivance (as the Esta-
blished Church), and we look on the present success of the
priesthood (in allusion to the recent elections), of which
they and their partisans are gONt so proud, as the sure har-
binger of their speedy fall. Its immediate effects must be
to make the whole Whig party the enemies of the ChUrch,
and one trumpet blast. in Parliament from the Queen's Minis-
ters, echoed from town to town in England, and rover-
brated among the hills of Scotland and Ireland, would
shake it to its foundations."

This denunciation against the Church, because its
priesthood refuse to sacrifice in th• high places of
Popery and the groves of Baal, is grandiloquent
enough, and at the same time very amusing ; but what
follows is still more sublimely comical. " It," says
the Treasury scribe, speaking of, the Protestant
Church, from the connection with which the Queen
derives her title to the Crown—" it," he observes—
" Lives by the timidity or courtesy of those whom it has
insulted. They yet find it convenient to profess attachment,
but insult and injury must rouse within thorn all the man,
and whenever they discard their hypocritical professions the
days of the church are numbered."

-This is not an enemy, but a friend—a most slavist
instrument of the corrupt and venal Whig faction, tha
describes the professions of attachment to the Church
by the Whigs heretofore as hypocritical. Again, lel
us hear this Government scribe—

" The use which the priesthood have already made of
the declaration of attachment to the Church of England,
which the Queen pronounced on her accession to the
Throne, ought to teach the Ministers how they implicate
their mistress and themselves by their professions. The
Church of England has now shown itself to be the decided
enemy of the public liberties. It is leagued with public
oppressors, and the Legislature will be wanting in its duty
--it will be a traitor to the cause of liberty, and to the
eausa of England, which is happily the cause of civilisation,
and of the whole human race—s!iould it not take care be-
forehand and prevent the p Tests front imposin an oath on
the Sovereign whenes er the coronation takes place to main•
tain a paid establishment which has become injurious, alike
to morality, liberty, and religion."
So then the oath which binds the conscience of the
Sovere'gn to maintain the Established Church as by
law established, and which has hitherto been consi-

tiered, at lealt ever since the expulsion of the Stuarts,
as an essential part of the compact betwten the Mo-
narch and the British people, is to be expungtd. It
we had a Popish Sovereign this need not be the case,
as the Romish priesthood could give absolution for the
violation of that oath, as well as for the violation of the
oath respecting the Church taken by Roman- Catholic
Members of. Parliament. • At All events Churchmen

can no longer plead ignorance of the fact that the
Church is doomed if the Whigs remain in power !

There is at present in the market an immense
quantity of unripe and unwholsome fruit. The late gales
having shaken the trees, " the windfalls," as they are
termed, have been gathered and sent to market. This
is greatly to be lamented as there is so abundant a supply
of ripe fruit ; indeed the quantity is so large, that it is feared
much of it will be unfit for use before it can find purchasers.
Apples are especially plentiful. We have heard persons
who have been in the trade 20 years, remarking that they
never before witnessed so large a crop. Yesterday Co-
vent-garden Market overflowed with them. Even in the
streets, very good apples are sold at id. per dozen.

SUNDERLAND, AUG. 20.—1 have just returned
from w itnessing the total loss of a steam-boat, which proves
to be a vessel called the Splendid, from the North, which,
on passing the bar, unfortunately struck. The confusion
on board was dreadful ; the majority of the passengers ap-
peared to be females, whose shrieks and cries brought off
some boats to their assistance. It is not yet ascertained if
many lives were lost, but I trust not. The boat, after
being struck with a few seas, soon parted, as she appeared
to be a very badly constructed. and old vessel. Some of
the lower orders, immediately this occurred, gave one or
two cheers, very discreditably to themselves, and the tide
rapidly make in, soon strewed the coast with the timbers
and other portions of the wreck of this unfortunate vessel.

We have seen a letter from the western provinces
on the subject of the pestilent scourge which is at present
spreading iis ravages over that part of India. The disease
is represented to have the same character as the plague
of Egypt, and to have approached within 24 miles of Nus-
serabad ; and it is said that, in consequence of medical
advice, Major Alves has recommended some precautionary
measures. In a village 18 miles from Nusserabad, and 10
west of Bannai on the Neemuch road, 50 persons arc stated
to have died of it in two days. The cold weather did no-
thing towards checking the disorder, but hopes are enter-
tained that the hot winds will have the same beneficial in-
fluence they are known to have in stopping the plague
when it breaks out in Persia, and also in Egypt, though,
we believe, there in a less degree.—Calcutta Courier.
On Sunday last two females and a man of the con-
gregation of Mr. Ivory, at Cossey, Norfolk, were publicly
baptized in the river, near the mills at that place, with the
accustomed ceremonies; the females were neatly attired in
white. Nearly 1,000 persons assembled to view the pri-
mitive mode of admissicm to the Baptist Chureh,....Euex
