General Sir John Clavering, by Lady Diana West,
daughter of John Viscount Delawarr. Her Ladyship

remember her extensive and munificent character.

Evart has replied to the requisition agreed to at a
recent meeting of the Marylebone Reform and Regis-

Marylebone may enable the Liberal voters there to con-
firm and concentrate the power of returning two Liberal
Members, which I know them to possess."
The Marquis of Worcester, who arrived in town
at the close of the past week from the continent, has
gone to Badminton to pass the holidays with the

Hon. Richard Watson, youngest brother of Lord Sondes,
to the Hon. Lavinia Jane, only daughter of Lord George
Quin, and niece of the Earl Spencer. A select circle
of friends were present at the solemnisation.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.—A letter from Con-
stantinople of the 28th ult., quoted by the Augsburgh
Gazette, says, " The arrival of Prince Wolkonski on the
18th, with despatches for M. de Routenieff, has pro-
duced a great sensation amongst the diplomatists. The
English and Russian Ambassadors have both been un-
usually busy, and have had numerous conferences with
Reschid Pacha. Soon afterwards M. Cadalvene
returned from Alexandria. It appears that, although
holding a mission under the Ottoman Porte at the
Court of the Pacha, he has acted rather in the inte-
rests of France. He has brought the answer of Mehe-
met Ali to the propositions of the Divan. The Count
de Pontois imagined that the Porte would find it ac-
ceptable, but, on the contrary, it has been repudiated,
and since then affairs have taken a different turn. The
other Powers have come to an understanding since they
have discovered the intrigues of France, and M. de
Pontois has sunk in credit. The Sultan may, there-
ore,f look to the future with the greater confidence."

LONDON:
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1839.

" A soft answer turneth away wrath," is one 0

the many beautiful and true observations of the
Gospel, which are wholly neglected or scornfully
trampled under foot by the Protestant parsons. If
only they themselves were concerned, we should
not care a rush if they provoked a consuming
flame ; but, unhappily for the community, they are
allowed, or supposed, to speak for a large portion
of the people, and their hard language is kindling
wrath in another section of the empire. The use
which Mr. O'CoNNELL made at the meeting of his
constituents on Tuesday, as elsewhere reported in
The Sun, of the violent language of the M'NEILES,
the M'GIIEEs, the BRADSHAWS, and the Times, to
excite his auditory to a vigorous demonstration of ha-
tred to the Tories and to Toryism, is a painful illus-
tration of the effects of the Protestant men of GOD
following an opposite conduct from that recom-
mended in the Gospel. If we were Frenchmen
who had served under BONAPARTE, and now
wrote in the National, nourishing an intense hatred
of England, we could desire nothing better than to
see the fury of Protestant parsons and Protestant
editors lashing into a similar fury the orators and the
people of Ireland. But not being Frenchmen, not
thirsting for the ruin of England, we behold with
dismay the continued raving at Protestant meetings,
and its necessary effects on the population of Ire-
land. To Mr. O'CoNNELL's countrymen his ap-
peal will be heart-stirring, and he will not stand alone
in his determination to die in the field rather than
submit to Tory domination. No, he will be sup-
ported by millions ; and WELLINGTON, as O'CON-
NELL said, will not find himself engaged in a little
war when, at the head of the Tories, he has to en-
counter the whole Irish population.
It is scarcely necessary for us to direct attention
to Mr. O'CONNELL'S speech, but there are several
parts of it which will seize fast hold of the public
mind. He declares that they have arrived at a
period when the lives, liberties, properties, and
rights of the Irish are at stake, about to be filched
from them by a base and vile faction. Quite a match
for those gentlemen of the Press who have accumu-
lated on him terms of abuse, lie declares the
Tories to be everything that is bad, and to be
worthy of Prince ERNEST, as he is worthy of them.
The Times comes in for a large share of Mr,
O'CoNNELL's objurgation, and it is principally
from the pages of that journal that he collected his
proofs that the English Protestant oligarchy have
resolved to crush and enslave the Irish Catholics.

When violent men are stirring up national and
religious animosities, which promise—by one vitu-
peration producing an answering vituperation still
more bitter—to go on increasing and exasperating till
the whole empire will be in a flame, it is high time
for moderate men—for men who prefer earthly peace
to a religious squabble—to interfere, and command
the contending parties to stand at ease. We can-
not blame Mr. O'CoNN ELL ; he and his country-
men are not the assailants ; they stand on self-
defence ; they have made no single encroachment ;
they have asked for none on the rights of any class
of their fellow citizens. But an endeavour is making
to take away their rights, to encroach on them ; and
they have no means of resistance but to hurl their
anathemas against the missionaries of mischief who
have set forth on a crusade against the Catholics.
If anything can terrify them from their brutal, un-
social,
no unchristianossicicareer, it is the knowledge that
ybNeELsLuccessful, and such a
knowledgea mtrp.b
o,oN
's speech is likely, if
anything can, to convey to them.

We have lately called attention more than once
to the unhappy condition of society in England.
Under the head " Chartist Lodges " will be found
another picture on the same subject. According
to it the Chartists have but to meet in the streets in
tens or dozens, or even threes or fours, and an alarm
is given that an insurrection is contemplated. Flow
graphically are their gait, and scornful leer, inter-
pretated into ready-prepared resistance to autho-
rity. A stranger could only escape insult by avoid-
ing them. No stranger can arrive at an inn but he
