" A PALTRY PRESS."

These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester his
sernio." _ _

It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in the
shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the
gap." To put such an intellt ctual vehicle upon the road, we
think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and
excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A
Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal
Placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon
this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized
humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number
°newspapers tot ll them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup-
Pert one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them
the truth.

All that mortal art bath wrought,
In eur cell returns to nought ;
The molten gold returns to clay,
The polish'd diamond melts away.
All is altered, all is flown—
Nought staials fast but truth alone."
In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People,
Utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and
interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous
and often profitless—
" Hard is his task who edits—thankless job—
A weekly journal for the factious meb ;
Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ;
Fer this affee.ts his safety. that his sale ;
He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set—
If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt."
Wo sha always be happy, when we can agree with those
_:11 who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered
,"
liberty;
service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of
_e.rty ; but w i shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy
Which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never
I aIY to be realized—
" My father, Time, is weak and grey,
With waiting for a better day,"
We shall judge the Government by its ae's, and shall oppose
aPrernier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him
averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, Which,
absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Cattle-
',lc Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when he resists the
4"eallutl—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as
the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined
to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people.
Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene-
rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage
:f a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by
"rguments and facts, to advocate the
REPEAL OF THE UNION,
i as not mare beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom.
We will brine into the field the heavy artillery of reason,
aided by the Cht brigade of wit and humour. We shall be
staid with the gsteady, and mirthful with the light-hearted.
Pursuing "the even tenor of cur way," we shall ~run ea
glittering like a brook in the sunshine,"
" From grave to gay, from lively to severe."
a talesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will
di Th
cover s that we know a thing or two ; the Physician shall
proclaim Sportsman shall
us lovers of the healing art ; the
learn that we can clear a ci untry with him. " THE WORLD"
tc the Lady of Fashion shall be as a Court Gazette, and the
Agriculturist shall nut have to complain of cur negligence ; the
luterests of the -Merchant and Manufacturer shall receive our
close attention ; the United Service will find us, as of old, at-
tached to the cloth ; we shall " take our garland and singing
?_nridbes about us" with the Poet ; visit the studio of the Artist ;
a__deal our impartial criticism at the Theatre.

A TALE OF THE SIXTH CRUSADE.
By ALEXANDER ROSS, M.A.
Rector of Banagher, in the Diocese of Derby.
" The author not inaptly designates this a novel in rhyme,'
and it has merits in both respects. As a tale it has much to
rivet attention : it is cast in a superior mould, and the charac-
ters and incidents are naturally and skilfully evolved. The lan-
guage throughout is remarkably easy and graceful; and there
are passages which, for poetic fancy and penine feeling, would
410 credit to some of our best poets."—Liverpool Courier.

THE WEATHER. The weather since our last
has been almost uninterruptedly fair, though in parts of
Friday and the whole of Saturday last, the haze pressed
so closely to the earth, and the air was so still, that it
was impossible to shake off a feeling of gloom and
.des-
pondency. Yesterday, however, resembled the precious
Saturday, the sth curt.---bright and beautiful. The
dales around us now generally present the stubble in-
stead of the stook ; but in high lying districts a good
deal yet remains to be taken in. A gentleman, who
Clreaded last week a considerable part of Argyllshire,
informs us that there cutting is nearly at an end ; but
very little has y( t been saved. It is so far fortunate
that the sh?aring has been late, for little or none has been
injured by exposure. The same remark applies to the

~7A report has just reached us, which we fear to
be too true, of the death of Sir William Beatty, the
late physician to Greenwich Hospital. On the resig-
nation of his appointment but a few -weeks since he
went into Germany to recruit his health' and from that
country the melancholy news has been received. Sir
Wm. was Nelson's surgeon on board the Victory. t

could render to that naval hero.—West Kent Paper.
