LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29, 1836.

The moderation evinced by the Parliamentary chiefs
of the Tory party, in the case of the dissolution of the
Orange Association, has impressed several leaders of
the Constitutional Whig body with a belief that no
violent oppoition will be offered to a reform of the
Irish Corporate and Church Establishments. We con-
fess that we belong not to that sanguine class of politi-
cians who are always looking for consistency at the
hands of powerful factions—too often influenced in
their conduct by a momentary impulse, of which they
are themselves as little sensible as their enemies. In
such assemblies, daring rashness, precipitate boldness,
or a sudden appeal to the ignorant prejudices, suspi-
cions, jealousies, or fears of a majority, is more likely
to obtain that ascendancy which imparts a hue to
future prooceedings than calm appeals to reason, and
the citation of wise precedents. But independently of
this, it'is impossible to pay a proper regard to the Ws-
closures which Parliament has made respecting the
ramifications of the Orange conspiracy to supersede
the Constitutional laws of this country, and the per-
sonal history of its recognized chiefs, and afterwards
continue to expect from the advocates of such a system
an adherence to just, moderate, and safe councils. Is it
not too much to expect that the Duke of CUMBERLAND
will cease to support the worst abuses of the Irish
Church, merely because he has judged it prudent to
avert an impeachment by the Commons of England by
a timely submission to the laws ? Such persons as
the illustrious Duke, and the leaders of the faction
who owned him as their " Imperial Grand Master,"
will shrink from actual danger, when it forms no part
of their design to abstain from the evil courses which
lead to it. With them political intemperance is the
rule—moderation the exception. The country will,
therefore, do well to keep its eye upon them—the
Whigs will act prudently in distrusting them—and
men of no party, individually aiming at the promotion
of the general good, ought not to allow themselves to
he lured into a hope that the conduct of the Tories,
in the case of the Orange Lodges, may be taken as
an earnest of what they mean to do, when the subject
of Parliamentary investigation is the corrupt abuses of
insolvent and peculating Irish Municipalities, and the
simoniacal and sacrilegious frauds of a sinecure Church.
But whatever may be the conduct of the Tories,
a reform of the Irish Church Establishment is in-
evitable. They may resist it if they will—and they
will resist it with all their energies—but such re-
sistance will only precipitate the downfall of those
abuses which, in their opinion, constitute the
very essence of Christianity. The readers of The Sun
will find in another column a statement of the property
and numerical strength of the Irish Protestant Church,
drawn up from Parliamentary documents, which re-
quires only a careful perusal to convince any rational
being that the establishment to which it refers is not
such as a British Parliament in the nineteenth century
. will disgrace itself by supporting. We admit that in
matters of this kind the Legislature is not over scrupu-
lously rigid—that the Peers will see the question in a
very different light from the people—and that the
Bishops will thunder forth their anathemas against the
despoilers of God's inheritance—tenth pigs : but the
abuses of the Irish Church will be only made more
flagrantly notorious by episcopal palliation, and the
greater the efforts to screen them, ttle greater will be
the certainty of their total eradication. We .can assure
their Lordships, the Peers Spiritual, that the country
is not in a humour to brook their opposition to its
wishes. We can tell them—and we may as well do
so—that the House of Commons is as little inclined
to suffer its deliberations to be set aside, to suit the
ambitious aims of mitred ecclesiastics in 1836, as it
was in 1641. There are MERINOS in abundance in the
present Parliament, who, in the event of being
refused all other means of redressing the abuses
of the Church, would bring in Bills upon
Bills for excluding Bishops from the Upper
House ; neither would there be any want of PYMS,
HOLLISES, HAMPDENS, HASLERIGS, STRODES,
WHITELOCKS, and PIERPOINTS, to support such
extreme measures. Resistance on the part of the
Lords would be not only useless, but highly dange-
rous to the legislative existence of that body. The

wisdom of our ancestors—the tory substitute for Popish
image-worship—would be rather awkwardly invoked
by the Prelates in this particular instance ; for it un-
fortunately happens that the Act excluding them from
the House of Lords, was sanctioned by the Monarch
whose martyrdom they continue to celebrate before he
charged the Commons of England with attempting to
coerce their faithless, obstinate, and bigotted Sove-
reign. We are not so ignorant of history as to con-
tend that Prelacy's most illustrious Confessor gave a
cordial consent to the Bill which extinguished the le-
gislative functions of the Bishops ; but the restraint
under which he laboured, was by no means greater
than that of his present most gracious MAJESTY, to
receive favourably whatever measure of Irish Church
Reform may hereafter meet with the approbation of
the two Houses of Parliament. By the common con-
sent of public writers, it is rather unusual to cite this
part of our history, interwoven as it is with many of
the most painful recollections in the annals of
England ; but the times in which we live- warrant our
reminding Churchmen of the results which followed
the obstinacy of their predecessors, under circum-
stances not dissimilar to those in which they now find
,hemselves.

The only hope of the country is centered in that
salutary, equitable, wise, and firm determination to do
justice to Ireland, which has uniformly characterised
the present Government. While the helm of the
State remains under the• Constitutional direction of
such Statesmen as Lords MELBOURNE and JOHN
RUSSELL, it is impossible that aught evil can befal

the vessel. The cry of " breakers ahead I" will
alarm no one who has the least knowledge of the skill
of these Constitutional mariners. Never were they
stronger in all that gives real strength to a Ministry
than they are at this moment. In the first place they
have the support of an overwhelming majority of the
House of Commons ; and in the next they have the
unbounded confidence of the Electoral and Municipal
Bodies in England, and of nine-tenths of the whole
population of Ireland. They have therefore nothing
to fear but their own pusillanimity. The Lords dare
not resist the Commons headed by the Members of
such a Cabinet, whether in or out of office. Let

them then boldly assail the abuses which dis-
grace the Church. Resistance on the Fart of
the Bishops will be ultimately an advantage to the
country—for it will prepare the Commons for the
adoption of measures which shall relieve their Lord-
ships from duties which must be irksome to the humble
and lowly followers of the apostles.
Upon this question we care not for the cant of
bigots. The sincere Ministers of the Gospel will re-
cognize in us their hest friends. What can be more
charitable than to relieve those from the secular and
oppressive weight of Baronial honours, to whom a
second coat is a 'burthen too grievous to be borne ?
Vtrrhat more consonant to the gospel spirit than to
afford its Ministers the freest opportunities of devot:ng
their lives to its propagation ? What more accordant
with christian charity than to enable those who are
appointed to be examples of humility and obedience to
all, and more especially to the poor and the ignorant,
than the removal of these stumbling-blocks to salva -
tion which compel them to wear purple and fine linen,
and desert the hovel of the Peasant for the palace of
the Prince, and the bench of the Lordly Legislator ?

Our readers will perceive, by the document entitled
" Orange Lodges," in another part of our paper, that
the dissolution of their Societies has been acquiesced
in by the Orangemen, with the bittereat feelings of re-
luctance and mortification. They have not succumbed
to conviction, but necessity. They still think that
they have been most cruelly treated ; that their Soce-
ties were in every- respect constitutional ; and that they
have been made the victims of party faction. Hence
they consent to a dissolution, as a culprit consents to
be hanged, simply because they cannot help them-
selves. "We cannot (says their Imperial Grand
Master) and do not, attempt to disguise from you, that
the Address voted by the House of Commons was not
called for by the state of Ireland, or by any demerits
in our institutions. We cannot say to you that the
dangers to meet which the Orange Institution was
framed, threaten us no longer, or that you must not,
as rue, feel it a painful task to relinquish an Association
justly endeared to us. The sacrifice is great, and we
will not conceal from you that attendant circumstances
may render it more painful." The circumstances to•
which his Royal Highness here alludes, are the
taunts" which the Orangemen anticipate being sub-
jected to at the hands of the Reformers. Nor can we
wonder at such anticipations. - A bad conscience is
always imaginative ; and the ascendancy men, well re
membering the spirit in which they have ruled Ireland for
40 years, cannot do otherwise than expect to be treated,
in this their hour of humiliation, precisely in the same
spirit. But natural as are these anticipations, the
Orangemen will most assuredly be disappointed in,
them. No real Reformer will think it worth his while
to insult them. They are down, and with their down-
fall will terminate his hostility. In a few years it will
be forgotten that they ever existed ; and if they.
themselves can only contrive to be equally oblivious
on the subject, we think that they will be likely
to enjoy far more peace and sunniness of mind
than they at present possess. This, however, is
scarcely to be expected, for when did despotism ever
forget, or acquiesce in the justice of its overthrow ?
DIONYSIUS the schoolmaster of Corinth was haunted
by an incesssnt recollection of DIONYSIUS the tyrant
of Syracuse ; and so, to the end of the chapter, will
it be with the Orangemen. But this is their own
affair, not ours. All we exact from them is, that
they never . presume again to rear their heads as
IMonopolists. ‘ With their privitte tribulations we have
nothing to do.

The rejection of the just claifns of Mr. BUCKING-
HAM, by the House of Commons, reflects the deepest
disgrace on those pseudo-liberals and pitiful economists
whose votes swelled the majority on that occasion.
There are certain sets of men in the House of Com-
mons to whom we never look for justice—partisans of
this and that interest which it is their business to sup-
port through thick and thin ; but when find the
avowed champions of popular rights, the advo-
cates of even-handed justice, taking the same side
upon a division, we confess that we are urged to
inquire closely into the personal motives which may
have prompted such a dereliction of public duty. In
the case of Mr. BUCKINGHAM we think we have
discovered them, but it might be dangerous for us to
say more upon the subject in the present state of the
law of libel. We do not want to appear in the Court
of King's Bench at the suit of such political lillipu-
tians as the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath.

We refer with pleasure to a letter on the subject of
Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claims, which will be found i❑
another column, addressed to the British people by Mr.
EBENEZER ELLIOTT, the author of " Corn Law
Rhymes." We are confident this appeal to the jus-
tice of England will not be made in vain. It comes
from a good quarter, and embraces the honest views of
a patriot and a poet—of a man who, in every relation
of life, is himself an honour to the nation whose justice
he invokes. Nevertheless we cannot be persuaded to
look at the case of Mr. BUCKINGHAM through the
same gloomy medium which he does. We are still of
opinion that the Hon. Member for Sheffield may con-

fidently hope ?or redress, without any of those changes
in Parliamentary representation which Mr. ELLIOT.
regards as necessary preliminaries. Let Mr. BUCK-
INGLIAM persevere in demands founded in equity, and
Parliament must concede them.

We beg to call the attention of our readers to an
extract which appears in another column, of the deci-
sion of a Board of Superior Officers held in Spain
upon the conduct of a Lieutenant-Colonel of the
British Auxiliary Legion, previous to his resignation.
The soldier-like manner in which this document is
drawn up, induces us to believe that order and dis-
cipline prevail in the Legion, worthy in every respect
that of English troops.
Comment on this document appears unnecessary,
and attention is only now requested to it, in order to
caution those friendly to the cause against putting any
faith in statements made by interested persons, and at
the same time to shew how eagerly, and on what shal-
low grounds, the party opposed to the Liberal cause in
this country grasp at any report to injure or im-
pede what in their hearts they feel must eventually
succeed.

We have no wish to push this matter further, or to
make use of other information which we have in our
possession :—we hope we may not be driven to do so
by the perseverance of individuals in unfounded re-
ports, calculated to injure the character of the Legion•

The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and
Saturday are before us, together with advices from a
well-informed private source• in that capital. The
only subject discussed in them is the probable per-
manence or dissolution of the New Cabinet. During
the period the late Ministry remained in office, the
Journal des Debats is reported to have received Go-
vernment patronage to the amount of 80,000 francs
per annum, which was regularly paid out of the public
Treasury to its Editors, on the stipulated condition of
receiving the support of that paper. This sum the
conductors of the Debats have thought proper to
decline, since the accession of M. THIERS to- the
Presidency ; but whether from a desire to assume an
unusual tone of independence, or from a secret wish to
render the new President unpopular with the Chambers,
we have no means of determining. At all events, the
transaction redounds little to the credit of the Debat,,
as three months have not elapsed since this very
journal disclaimed all connection with, and subserviency
to, the Government.
For our own part, much as we opposed the
mad career of M. THIERS, when his object was the
destruction of the liberty of the Press, we are very far
from regretting his appointment to the office of Po-
' reign Minister. He is the only Frenchman we know
capable of taking a proper stand in opposition to the
encroachments of Russia, Austria, and Prussia ; for
the world is no longer ignorant of the new league into
which these three Powers have entered for the de-
struction of the last vestige of liberty in Poland.
The responsible Editor of the Gazette de France
was on Friday sentenced to two months' imprisonment,
and a fine of 4,000 francs, for an attack on the Gc-
vernment in one of its leading articles.
Baron DAVILLIER, a Peer, has been appointed
Governor of the French Bank, in the room of Count
D'ARGOUT, the new Minister of Finance.
The latest accounts from Oran are by no means sa-

tisfactorv. Marshal CLAUSEL is likely to find it.
more difficult to subdue ABDEL KADER than he was
prepared to expect. Many of the Deputies begin to
murmur at the expense incurred by the retention of
the Algerine territory.
PAIOS, FEB. 27.-(News of the Morning.)-M.
Minister of Public Instruction, is of the Protestant religio,.
The following article of the Journal du Commerce is c:d-
culated to lead to an explanation on the part of the Ministry :-
" The delay of news from Oran attracts public attention to
our possessions in Africa. Some uneasiness has been excited
likewise by the departure of Lt. Colonel Delarue, who is sent
to Oran on a mission to Marshal Clausel. It is not very pro-
bable that he is gone (as has been intimated) to male
inquiries about the expedition to Tremezen ; it would have
been sufficient for that purpose to send a vessel from Toulon.
" This evening, in a political circle, we heard another
explanation of the mission of Colonel Delarue. It was sail
that it had been decided in a Cabinet Council the day before
yesterday, that the occupation of the Regency should be re-
duced to two points, Oran and Algiers, and that only 6,000
men should be left in Africa to garrison those two places.
M. Delarue, it was added, has been sent with instructions to
prepare the evacuation. We do not mean to give the news
as certain, but there is ground to require an explanation, when
we recollect the well-known opinion of some of the Members
of the Administration.
" Those who, after warmly advocating the reduction of the
Three per Cents. as necessary, have so suddenly abandoned
the opinion which raised them to power, may perhaps have
thought of this means to produce a balance of receipt and ex-
penditure; but it is doubtful whether the tax-payers, especially
thos2 in the Southern Department, will be satisfied with such
a compensation."
The Bayonne journals say that the snow is six feet deep in
the mountains of Navarre, and that military operations are

Bourtsit, THREE o'CLocx.—Before the opening of the
Bourse, the Three per Cents. were at 80f. 75c., it being un-
derstood that the acceptance of the mediation of England by
the United States had officially arrived. When it was ascer-
tained that no official account had arrived, the Three per
Cents. receded gradually to 80f. 60c.
The Spanish Securities are without, alteration, and very
little business is doing in them.
P. S. A sudden fall has taken place in the Actives, an
1 uerebe-
English speculator having sold a great deal of that stock.

The
Government continues to enjoy the ample confidence
of the Spanish people. In the North the QUEEN',
troops are recovering the advantages which they lost
through the disagreements of the Generals. The
Carlists are nearly driven out of Catalonia.

We have received a file of Jamaica papers; to the
24th of January inclusive. Their contents are very
unimportant. The apprentices are, in general, very
attentive to the orders of the Magistrates, and, unless
when roused by the ill-treatment of their masters, give
them very little trouble. His Excellency the Governor
exerts himself to reform all abuses in the Colony, par-
ticularly those in the administration of justice. One
of his first acts has been to issue an order to the Re-
gistrar
in Chancery, forbidding to tax any solicitor's
accounts, before they have been submitted to the in-
spection and examination of his Lordship. He has
also taken tneasures for diminishing the costs of action
in the whole of the Inferior Courts. We are happy
