LONDON :
TUESDAY EVENING. NUGUST 21, 1838

The hint we ventured to throw some few days ago,
to such of our Ministerial Contemporaries .as evinced

a desire to attack Lord BROUGHAM, seems to have
been taken. They have relented in their hostility
against him, and with better taste direct their attacks
against those persons and those systems to which all Libe-
ral politicians in common are opposed. If Lord BrtouG-
H Am be now sometimes in opposition to the Ministers,and
if he have somewhat changed his opinions since he was
in office, it should be remembered, particularly by
those Journals which admit the necessity of flapping
onward even the best-intentioned Ministers, that his
change has been towards Liberalism, and that
the opposition betwixt him and the Ministers is mainly
produced by their divergence in an opposite direction.
"We certainly are sorry to witness any contentions
amongst Liberal politicians, for their common foe is
daily increasing in power, and their personal quar-
rels render the bulk of the people indisposed toward
them. It is not for us to mediate between such high

parties, or to attempt to compose their quarrels, but we
are anxious that the public interest should not

suffer by disputes that have altogether a perso.
nal origin and personal objects. If the Minis.
ters think they have reason to complain o

nuisance, the Irish Church. Whether the Ministers
thanked him or not for his speech on that occasion all
the Liberals of the Empire did. The Chronicle of to-day
has in a manner followed in Lord BROUGHAM'S track,
showing that on this great question there is no differ-
ence between him and the supporters of the Ministers.
We have copied our Contemporary's article, and re-
commend it to public attention, as a proper exposure
of Lord LYNDHURST'S ignorant hostility.
The Examiner used to be a paper of reputation,
and above taking improper and garbling liberties with
the language of an opponent to make out a
case against him. It attacked Lord BROUGHAH
because he described the House of Lords as the
chosen temple of liberty. We do not know where the
Examiner got the report, but we can assert that Lord
BROUGHAM'S words were "Inn this House•+• he highest
judicature, in this Parliament—the temple of liberty,"
&c., which is very different from the Examiner's
version. Perhaps, if that Journal be not like most
critics, too well-informed ever to commit an error,
it will next week make a little erratum of this
passage, and acknowledge that it did Lord
BROUGHAM an injustice. We, however, are chiefly in-
terested in promoting peace between the friends of libe-
ral principles, because that may promote the success
of the liberal cause ; and it ought to be remembered,
whatever ma) have been Lord BROUGHAM'S conduct
when in office, that he can now obtain nothing, and
can hope for nothing, but by supporting the Liberal
cause heart and hand.

We learn from the Cheltenham Free Press, that a
contest has been carried on there on the su.nject of
Church-rates, in which bricks and mortar, as usual,
Wave succeeded against sentient beings. The pro-rate
party, by the help of Mr. STURGES BOURNE'S Act,
have, in this case as in many others, overturned right
and justice. The Church to be provided for was built

by aJ subscription collected in 1827 and subsequent] v,on
the faith that this Church was always to be maintained
by the subscribers. The Rey. Gentleman who pro-
moted it did so on the ground of " preventing the possi-
bility of the free Church ever becoming chargeable to
the parish." The same Rev. Gentleman has, however,
now assisted in promoting.a rate for that very purpose.
Such are the tricks by which clergymen obtain
their objects. That a rate, however, has now been
granted for a frce Church, which was to make a rate im-
possible, may serve as a warning to other parishes in
which free Churches have been built on similar asser-
tions, and which will, by and by, fall on the parish
for support. When Mr. Rural Dean, or Mr. Arch-
deacon, finds such a place of worship out of repair,
no doubt he wlll call on the Churchwarden, and the
Churchwarden will call on the parish, to repair it.
Free Churches are mere baits for catching taxes.

In The Sun of yesterday we inserted a report of the
proceedings at the meeting held in Dublin on Saturday
last, from which it appeared that a new plan of agita-
tion has been proposed by Mr. O'CONNELL to his
countrymen. An Association, to be called " the Pre-
cursor Society of Ireland," is to be formal imme-
diately, the object of which is to make a final
experiment upon the disposition of the British
Legislature in the next Session of Parliament.
If the Legislature shall give unequivocal proof that it
is desirous to do full justice to Ireland, that is to say,
to put that portion of the United Empire on a footing
of perfect equality in all respects, political, civil, and
religious, with the two other portions of it, then the new
Society is to be instantly extinguished. But if this
righteous demand be refused, then all further attempts
to obtain redress from the United Legislature, will be
entirely given up as visionary and hopeless, and the
people of Ireland invited to enrol themselves in a
National Association, for the Repeal of the Union, and
the re-establishment of a domestic Legislature.
Such is a brief outline of the plan submitted by Mr.
O'CONNELL to the Irish people, and we heartily wish
it success. The claims of Ireland are founded on a rock
—the rock of eternal justice, and if they are advocated,
as it is proposed by •Mr. O'CONNELL that they
I should be, lawfully, peaceably. but determinedly by the
Irish nation, they must before long be acknowledged
and conceded.

By the arrival of the Royal William steam-ship at
Liverpool, from New York, whence she sailed on the
4th inst., we have received, exclusive of United States'
journals of that date, Buenos Ayres papers to the 2d
of June, Toronto and Quebec papers to the 28th and
30th ultimo respectively, and Montreal papers
to the 2d instant, from which copious and inter-
es'ting extracts will be found in another part
of The Sun. The political fever in the United States
appears to have considerably abated since the date of
the last arrivals. From the Canadas the accounts
received are, upon the whole, very favourable. In the
course of his brief tour in the Upper Province, Lord
DURHAM received a great number of loyal addresses,
and wherever he went was met by deputations of
the principal inhabitants, whom he delighted by the
affability with which he received them. While at Tc-
ronto, his Lordship entertained at dinner 200 persons
of whom 50 at least were citizens of the United
States. Immediately after the QUEEN'S health v;as
drunk, the Noble EARL proposed the health of the
PRESIDENT Of theUNITED STATES, which he prefaced
in a speech conceived in a most friendly spirit. Not
only all the Canadians, but all the frontier
Journals which defended the rebellion, represent
his Lordship as already the most popular Governor
that ever set foot in British America.
The intelligence from South America will be found
of considerable importance, particularly -the message
of the President of the Argentine Republic.

TOULON, Auo. 14.—A telegraphic despatch of to-day gives
an order for the Zebra brig to proceed immediately to Mexico,
instead of the Latin, which will remain under commission in
port. The Medea frigate, commanded by Captain Leray,
which is before Lisbon, has also received orders to go to
Mexico. The Caravane corvette is taking in provisions and
stores for the blockading squadron. The Montebello will soon
be completely armed, and will put to sea in a few days. The
command of the four bombards has been given to four captains
of corvettes. Three lieutenants of ships of the line had been
proposed. The Vantour steam-boat, which has arrived during
tl.e night from Algiers, has brought here Major-General
Neguer. The Egerie corvette is taking on board 100,000
rations for the squadron before Tunis.
The Nereide frigate, on board which Admiral Baudin is
going to hoist his flag, will take on board 350 artillerymen of
the navy, for Mexico.

A Colonel and Captain of Engineers have just received
orders to accompany Rear- Admiral Baudin, who succeeds
M. Baoche in the command of the squadron on the coast of
Mexico. The dgparture of these officers confirms the reports
which have been circulated of the intentions of the Govern-
ment to attack the fort of St, Juan de Ulloa.—Le Corn.
