SIR RALPH HOWARD.

(From the Dublin Evening Post.)
In the address published on Saturday fast, Sir Ralph
Howard asserts, as the ground of withdrawing hilt con-
fidence from the Ministry, their appointment of Mr.
Shiel, who had avowed opinions favourable to the ap-
propriation of the property of the Irish Church to
secular objects.

On turning to the files of the Dublin Evening Post
we fi❑d an address from Mr. Ralph Howard to the
electors of the county of 'Wicklow, dated January 4,
1885, from which we extract the following :
The appointment, Gentlemen, of Mr. Goulburn,
under the present Government, mars the line of policy
about to be pursued, and would prevent me from giving
it any support. 1 mention him more particularly, be-
cause he is the representative of the Univers,ity of
Cambridge, one of the most Tory constituencies in the
kingdom, and is, from his office, vested administrator of
the affairs of Ireland.
" The principal question, with reference to our part of
the United Kingdom, which will be agitated in the ap-
proaching Parliament, and I trust brought to a final
adjustment, is that of tithes. My conduct on that
question will be in accordance with the votes I have
already given. Firstly, for the 147th clause of the
Church Temporalities Bill, which maintains the right
of future appropriation by Parliament. Secondly, on
the Irish Tithe Bill, when I deemed it my duty to vote
with Mr. O'Connell on the mode of realising Church
property. Any one who does not embrace in his views
these two points, and more particularly the first, is not
a real Reformer, but professes Reform as an electioneer-
ing manoeuvre."

-Yes, as an electioneering manoeuvre. Mr. Ralph, in
1835, was "a real Reformer"—a supporter of Mr.
O'Connell on the Tithe question—like Mr. Sheil, an
uncompromising advocate of the appropriation of Church
property, and any candinate who did not embrace these
views was an unprincipled trickster.
It was Mr. Ralph Howard who avowed those de-
cided opinions—it is Sir Ralph Howard, Baronet, who
designates them dangerous and revolutionary.
But, Sir Ralph, after his conduct last Session, could
never again face the Reformers of Wicklow, and at the
twelfth hour he avows the recreancy which be had meanly
practised since he became a Baronet. That was to be
the reward of his " electioneering manoeuvre"—he ob-
tained it, and having nothing more to expect, the poli-
cal wasp stings his patrons, and renders his public life
and his professions a long political lie.
Alas, for " the blood of tho Howards !"

FIRST CABINET iS Said that
the first Cabinet Council will be held on Monday, the
18th inst., and that all the Ministers wilt be assembled
in town on that day.
FLOGGING BY WHOLESALE AT ETON COL-
LEGE.—A flogging match, upon a most, extensive scale,
took place at Eton College, on Piiday, the day after
the first day's fair at Windsor. It appears that at
Windsor fair, last year, the 'most frightful rows were
got up by the Etonians, ',rho proceeded to Windsor,
five hundred strong, dragged down the stalls, aeriousiv
maltreated the fair ferias, and violently assaulted the
police, This year, however, orders were issued by the
Provost, that not boy was to show himself at the fair.
On the evening preceding, it having reached the ears
of some of the, masters that something serious was its can-
in their
d
templatioa 'on the part of the boys, and certain suspicions
having be en created in their minds, a search was wade

as we are informed, were found, heavily loaded at one
end with lead. The next day, two of the masters
stationed themselves at Windsor, in the immediate vici-
nity of the fair, to watch for the straggling out-of-
bounds' Etonians. A large party of the boys, in de-
fiance of the mandate of the Provost, visited the pro-
scribed locality—the names of twenty-six of whom
were carefully noted down by the lynx-eyed masters, who
were on the watch. The next morning their names
were called over, and every nue of the offenders, big
and little, underwent the awful ceremony of a public
flogging in the school. The rods (for the custem is,
" every boy his own rod") were about three feet long,
and manufactured, in the most orthodox style, of black
birch. Each of the young 'scapegraces were removed,
downwards, one form, as an additional punishment for
disobeying the injunctions of the Provost.---Sunday

LONDON-
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4; .1839-

• . --.1,--
zi cf.y, e pf the Tory Journals begin to find out
that it is eot exactly their game to disovm Mr
Bit.s.nsm/44, they accordingly say that tbOugh
his language was riot exactly what ought to be used
in public, it is what great multitudes feel, and a
Tory weekly ci-devant Radical paper says, " it is
whet peat multitudes say in private." If that be
, if multitudes begin to talk of he abdication of
kiw JAMES in reference to her MAJESTY, if
they eell her the QUEEN of a faction, because she
will not suffer herself to be made the tool of the
Torieq to degrade the nation ; if they describe her
as the servant of the King of the BELGIANS, who is
" the serf of LOUIS PHILLIPE," if multitudes
believe and say all that Mr. BRADSHAW uttered,
then it is high time that her MAJESTY, her Minis-
ters, and all the friends of her Government, and of
Lil'eral principles, all the advocates of liberty and
talerailion, should be on the alert, and form them-
selves into societies to defend and protect the
QUEEN. If that be so, then it is true, as we have
already stated, Lhat the Tory Journals only con-
demned Mr. BRAD'SIIAW at first, because he had
and exposed their schemes
betrayed their secrets
before they were ripe. 'l,c,- as the Post said on Sa-
turday, Mr. BRADSHAW be a competent mouth-
piece for ardent Protestantism, +lnd the hatred he
avowed for her MAJESTY, her Ministers, and for
elle whole Irish nation, be felt by all the ardent Pro-
testant Tories, we are nearer to an attempt to force
an abdication than any person has yet dreamed of,
and it behoves all the enemies of religious persecu-
tion and civil war, instantly to exert themselves for
the safety and protection of the QUEEN.
Some two or three years ago we remember that a
General, Sir ED. BARNES, since deceased, offered
;n the name of the army, the use of its sword to
Toryism. A very short time ago we published a
general order issued by the Horse Guards, forbid-
, ding addresses to officers on the part of the men,
and foo bidding officers to receive, or the men from
giving, any token or testimony of respect and at-
tachment, the plain and palpable object of which
is to prevent the army being popularised, and to
!n ate it as completely as possible the instrument of
ghe florse Guards. in fact the Horse Guards is
Arel e r the influence of the Duke of WELLINGTON,
ik ?KY has not, any more than Sir R.PEEL, though he
was in the neighbourhood, disavowed the sentiments
It ttere4 in the name of the Tories by Mr. BRAD-
itH AW, And secretly nourished by them. The sol-
diers and tf officers under that influence, and as
mere instruments of :he Horse Guards, will only
he allowed to entertain o:te kind of political senti-
•

prospect opens on us when we thus find the army
all ()Wei to entertain only Tory principles, and
the Tories avowing the most disloyal and destruc-
n
tive doctrines. Attempts to storm the Court, or
change the &nasty, will not however end there.

Tories. It is not only what they wish
L'ltemselves,
therefore, but what they will bring about—no! only
what they propose to do, but what others will i►.
fallibly attempt if they commence, which makes it
indispensable, we think, now to institute societies
for the defence of the QUEEN. When the Tories
are acting as the heralds of the Republicans, when
they vilify the Court and talk of an abdication,
loyal men will think it high time to take some
vigorous ieasures to support her Majesty and
ward off the destruction which the Tories are pre-
paring. They may be powerful to effect a great
change, but if they expect to gather its fruits, they
will be deceived.

The Tory Journals are making a great hullabaloo
about the success of their party at the Municipal
elections. So prodigious was the excitement at
Oxford at their success, according to the Standard,
that they actually paraded the streets with a band
of music, tnd thereby got a mob to follow them.
What wondrous fellows are the Tories, so extraor-
dinarily popular, that they can, by the help of hired
musicians, draw after them a few idle people. When
their journals boast, however, do they mean that the
BRADSHAWITES, or the PEELITES, the deposers
or sham defenders of her MAJESTY, Prince
ERNEST'S, or the lip-loyal men, have been success-
ful ? Can all the Tories henceforth serve under one
flag, and ali be as ready as the rabid priesthood and
ignorant squires of East Kent, to defame, insult,
and threaten, her MAJESTY ? The Quarterly Re-
view has, indeed, recommended the patty to throw out
feelers, one of which is Mr. BRADSHAW. Sir
ROBERT PEEL has not yet repudiated this gentle-
man, who answered for him at Canterbury, and till
that be done we shall not know how many of the
Tories are ready to go the whole hog for ERNEST.
Many of the electors of our towns cannot be pre-
pared to embrace Canterbury Toryism, and in
voting for Tories voted for moderate men, who
would as steadily resist Mr. BRADSHAW and Sir
ROBERT PEEL, if he go with Mr. BRADSHAW,
as we should.

After all, of what do the Tories boast. At
Manchester, Winchester, and Dover there has been
no change whatever. At Poole and Lincoln the
Tories have been beaten. At Liverpool they have
gained one ; making their minority in the Town
Council something smaller than a third. At Bris-
tol, Lancaster, Oxford, and Eye—" God save the
mark ! "—they boast of a trifling gain ; but at all
these places the Tory influence was before predo-
minant, and were their success ten times as great
it would not add one vote to their party in Par-
liament.

At the same time we by no means wish to
flatter Lord MELBOURNE by stating that his
party are gaining ground. The towns are his
strong-holds, and we of late have seen many doubts
thrown on the success of the Liberal party at the
next election, in places where, hitherto, only
Liberals have been elected. The Tories have the
steady and enduring love of pelf and hope of place
to keep theni united. Lord MELBOURNE'S fol-
lowers want something of that kind. Hope is the
great stimulus, and he must give his friends and
supporters reason to hope for something more.
Their thoughts are fixed on their country, and their
attachment would be strengthened, and their affec-
tion kindled by a prospect of some benefit to be
conferred on it. They are• grateful for many ser-
vices, but gratitude is acknowledged to be a cold,
feeble, and decaying emotion. A prospect of
achieving the abolition of the Corn-laws, a hope of
obtaining the Ballot, or further reduction of useless.
expenditure, &c., might infuse new life and new
rigour into his supporters. The errors of his opponents,
however, will much contribute to give him strength
il arid keep him in power. It is impossible that the
people should ever be reconciled to change Queen
V icToar A and her Court, however black the To-
ries mzly delight to paint it, for the despot Prince
ERNES.,:, and his vile,
disgusting, and loathsome
friends.

We see that the friends of Reform are to-mor-
row to commemorate the acquittal of HARDY,
TOOKE, and THELWALL ; and we trust that they
will have a good muster. That the speeches will
be inspiring and the sentiments worthy of the men
to whose memory—for they are now all departed—
honour is to be done, and to the present improved
political feeling of the country, we cannot doubt.
The particulars of the feast are n?entioned in an
advertisement.

We have received by the Flanders Mail last
evening some details of the extraordinary proceed•
inns of the Archbishop of POSEN. Au interdict
has been issued, which _in its operation strongly
recals the state of England when THOMAS
A'BECKET contended with his Sovereign for su-
preme power. In the whole of the diocese the
church bells are mute on Sundays and holidays,
even at marriages all rejoicings are forbidden,
and every 'expedient is adopted by the
Clergy to create gloom and discontent among
their flocks. If the people are so igno-
rant and superstitious as to be affected by these
mummeries, the Court of Berlin will have a hard
battle to fight with the Archbishop and the Court
of Rome. After this, who can wonder at the King
of PRUSSIA making such exertions to diffuse
knoyvledge among his subjects, or at the Clergy of
England throwing so many obstacles in the way of
national eAucation. In all countries, and at all
times, ignorance has been the most powerful ally of
a dominant pries'hocd.

Madrid letters and papers of the 26th ult. inclu-
sive, have reached us this morning. The debate in
the Chamber of Deputies on the Address, was still
going on. On the 24th, a rumour was spread that
a revolutionary movement was about to take place
in the capital, upon which the guards were called
out, but nothing occurred to disturb the general
tranquillity. In the course of the debate the ultra-
liberals exposed, with much bitterness, the hollow
friendship of France, and the baseness of the
Ministry in truckling to the Absolutists in the vain
hope of conciliating the great Northern Powers,
and particularly Austria. The Members of the
Cabinet, however, maintained that the King of the
FRENcII faithfully observed the stipulations of the
Quadruple Treaty, and that their overtures to
Austria were completely misrepresented.

No news had been received from ESPARTERO
of a latet date than the 21st ult. He was then
with his army approaching Morella, garrisoning all
the fortresses in his rear, so as to keep the road
open behind him, and gradually narrowing the
or,lund occupied by the Carlists. His advanced
guard
then occupied a line extending from Ca-
landa to Camarillas, after routing a Carlist division
under BAsQI:TE, one of CABRERA s Lieutenants.

The victim selected was a poor wretch whof
had been for five years under sentence of
death, and who, after being for three hours
paraded round the city, was hanged for the edifica-
tion of a mob, who expressed themselves delighted
with the manner in which the whole process was
conducted. Of course the Lisbon populace no
longer entertain the least doubt of the legality of
murder under certain circumstances, and those by
no means so pressing as the want of money to a
starving man, the gratification of revenge, or even
the desire to amass wealth for lawful purposes. The
Government has taught them that though it repu-
