the Irish people, is the influence exercised by the
presence •of mendicant squalor, aid tile association
with mendicant habits and principlesthe
consequence of the present destitute condition of the
indigent poor. The details of misery set forth in 'the
last report of the Poor Law Commissioners, are, we
believe, without a parallel in the history of Christian
States.' These details embrace the record of every-day
life in Ireland.
Sir R. MUSGRAVE has given notice; that on Tues-
day next he will move for leave to bring in a Bill for
the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland. We
trust his motion will not be opposed by the Govern-
ment, and that when his Bill is introduced, all parties
will unite to make it as perfect as possible. The Go-
vernment, we presume, has a Bill of its own in pro-
gress of preparation ; but we think that no opposition
should be made to a measure, which can be easily so
re-modelled as to embrace the soundest views of the
Law Officers of the Crown. We admit the difficul-
ties by which the question is beset to be unprece-
dentedly. great ; but so much the More merit will the
Governnient be entitled to for surmounting them. As
in the present condition of Ireland there is unques-
tionably a surplus of labour, we do hope that in any
measure proposed for the relief of the Poor, no such
anomaly as the law of settlement will be admitted.
The labourer must be allowed to wander wherever he
can procure work, till the establishment of manufac-
tures—the consequence of an increased security for
the investment of capital—becomes so numerous that
employment will force itself upon him, instead. of his
being compelled to roam the country in sparch of it.
The passing of a Poor Law for Ireland would at
once accelerate the establishment of railways, and the
investment of capital in a• thousand other profitable
speculations. Such works would be first commenced
to diminish the burden of the poor ; and the trade
and manufactures which they would be the means of
calling into existence, would supply the same poor
with constant means of procuring a comfortable liveli-
hood for themselves, and of increasing the wealth of
their country. The effects of increasing property
would be soon visible in the improved habits and in-
creasing intelligence of the people. Prejudices. would
disappear; with the comforts attendant upon well-re-
munerated industry, and love of order would be quickly
substituted for that recklessness which is less charac-
teristic of Irish feelings than -of Irish oppression. The
assimilation of habits would necessarily produce an
assimilation of sentiment and a conformity of opinion.
This would bring about a real union, in which Great
Britain and Ireland would be linked together by the
treble bond of law, interest, and affection.

Sir ROBERT PEEL committed an egregious mistake
when he pressed his Amendment on the Address to a
division. It would have been better policy in the
Right Hon. Baronet to have masked the weakness of
his party as long as possible, instead of exposing it to
the whole world on the very first night of that Session,
which we have so often been told was to be one con-
tinued scene of triumphs to the Tory cause. A skilful
leader, in the presence of a superior force, should con-
tent himself With manoeuvres, demonstrations, and affairs
of outposts. Sir ROBERT imprudently risked a general
engagement, and was beaten. This was bad general-
; ship, and its consequence has been irretrievable disas-
ter, for it•is not difficult to foresee how the campaign
will end that begins with so mortifying a defeat.
The point of attack too was no less injudiciously se-
lected than the attack itself was unfortunate ; for if
there be one part of the Royal Speech more invulne-
rable than another—if there be one portion of it more
strongly entrenched than another in the national sym-
pathy—it is that in which his MAJESTY recommends
justice to be done to Ireland in the reform of her Mu-
nicipal Corporations. Strange indeed were it other-
wise ! Deep indeed would be the stain—everlasting
the reproach—if the people of England and Scotland,
after having, through the generous co-operation of Ire-
land, wrested their usurped rights from their oppressors,
and established their freedom on an immovable basis,
should refuse to assist her in striking off her chains—
should refuse to admit her to a participation in the
benefits which she has conferred upon them.
But strong as is Ireland's claim on the gratitude
of England and Scotland, it is far—very far—from
being her strongest claim. It is to the principle of
eternal and unchangeable justice that she makes her
irresistible appeal. This is the true strength of her
cause. It is by the plain and obvious rule of doing
equal justice to all—a rule which comes home to the
bosoMs and consciences of all honest men, whether
high or low, rich or poor, learned or ignorant,
that the case of Ireland is to be judged. And
yet it is against the application of this rule that the
tyrannical and greedy faction, which has •so long
oppressed Ireland, and gorged itself with her spoils,
exclaims ! Was there ever iniquity like this ? Has
the world ever witnessed so barefaced an abandon-
ment of every pretence to moral rectitude—so complete
a sacrifice of all that goes to form respectability of
character to the Mammon of unrighteousness ?

,Look at'the terms in which the Reform of the Irish
Corporations is alluded to in the KING'S. Speech. His
MAJESTY " hopes " that there may be applied to the
abuses of the Irish Corporations a " remedy founded
on the same principles as those of the Acts which
have already passed for England and Scotland." Was
there ever a more .gracious or paternal sentiment ex-
pressed by a Sovereign ? Where lies the heart—but
in the breast of a Tory-4hat does not respond to it
with delight—that does not bless the father of his
people for uttering it ? Yet no sooner is this truly
beneficent recommendation announced than the leader
of the Opposition bristles up, and protests against
being pledged to a principle which, after all, he says,
he may not rightly understand ! And what is this
'principle which is so incomprehensible, and at
the same time so formidable to the Right Hon.
Gentleman ? Simply that Ireland should experience
the same treatment as England and Scotland ! This
is the abstruse and recondite principle which baffles the
subtlety of a Tory understanding. Is Ireland, then,
or is it not, an integral part of the British empire ?
The Tories tell. us that it is. No one has more
vehemently denounced the Repeal of the Union
than Sir ROBERT PEEL has done. But it seems
not to have occurred to him and his party, that
a perfect community of privileges is the only con-
dition on -which the Union can be maintained. If
Ireland is to be treated as a conquered country—if,. in-
stead of being incorporated with England and Scot-
land by the enjoyment of equal, rights, she is to be held
up as unworthy to share the benefits bestowed on the
other parts of the empire—then is the Union nothing
but an empty word, or, as Mr. O'CONNELL has signi-
ficantly described it, a bit of parchment. Such a

A notable comment on the Royal allusion to the ,grre'
vances of Dissenters has, by anticipation, been offered by
the Dean of York. That venerable personage has been
summoned before the civil Magistrates at Sidbrzry, for
REFUSING TO PAY HIS CHURCH-RATES, and defended the
subtraction, as the clerical lawyers have it, on the givund"
that he had no pew in the Church, and ought not to yag
for what he does not enjoy. It is rare to hear Churchnre°
claiming justice, and excellent weapons they furnish against
their own abuses; when the holy course of retribution has
brought one House to their own feelings. We remember
that of the notorious Church-rate' in Archdeacon &lover's
parish of Bungay St. Mary, a striking item was for 3104
pewing the Church. Mr. Childs had no pew at all, and be
wanted none. Certainly, therefore, he had no interest i°
repairing, and he refused to pay. Not, however, being s'•
Venerable Dean, but only the parishioner of a liberal
Archdeacon, he was sent for his refusal to Ipswich gaol.
" Oh! but, "sa3 s Mr. Dean of York, "we who do not enjoy
might not to pay." So said Mr. Childs ; but so did not
say Mr. Archdeacon Glover ; and the difference of opi-
nion cost Mr. Childs an imprisonment. This difference
ought not to continue between dignified Doctors, and for
its settlement, we propose a friendly conference betvveeo
them in Exeter Hall, or the Convocation House in St.
Paul's. The argument of the worthy Dean we understand
to be distinctly, that such as have no interest in the provi"
sions of the Church should be released from contribution
to its expenses. How Mr. Archdeacon Glover will coin'
bat this position we can pretty nearly guess, from his letters
on Church Reform and liberality in general. The Corpir,
ration Reform Bill has, however, put it into the power of
the Dissenters to send efficient and intelligent men of their
own body to Parliament—let them avail themselves of the
opportunity. Until they are represented, they cannot e%"
pect an entire repeal of all their grievances. '
