SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Doctor Martin, having received answers to his let-
ters addressed to the Lord Lieutenant and to Mr.
Drummond, which he considers " satisfactory," has
thought proper to publish another address to " the
Protestants of the -United Kingdom," in which he
states that, "thanks to the Lord ! the present Go-
vernment will not, or dare not, sanction the imaginaz
'ions of its weak-judging and domineering officer.
He is grievously disappointed, poor gentleman, that
Lord Mulgrave did not fall into his shallow device,
and resent his first impertinence by upholding the ir-
regular proceeding of the stipendiary magistrate. A
fin occasion of alarming the Protestants of the United
Kingdom, and inflaming their prejudices against the
present Government, has been thus spoiled ; and we
do not wonder at the chagrin and mortification
which this Reverend Doctor is unable to conceal
at the stop in mid-gallop which has been put to
his course of angry declamation. " The Govern-
ment dare not. I" How like a baffled brawler in
the street—" I defy you to strike me—you durst
not r —wishing all the while that he may be
deemed worthy to receive an angry kick or two
whereon to ground his action of battery. His position
is very unenviable. One of the charges brought by
this dispassionate divine against Mr. Duff is con-
tained in the following words :—" The said chief con-
stable told me further that he would do the same
thing to myself going to my parish church, or to the
Primate of Ireland, if an opposition was made to our
preaching, calculated to lead to a breach of the peace."
It is but just to Mr. Duff to say that he denies this
charge in the sense in which it is put forward. "As
your authority (he says in a letter to the Dublin
Evening Mail) mis-states the manner in which his
Grace the Lord Primate's name was introduced, I
feel explanation is due, and which can only be done
by mentioning the conversation as it occurred. Mr.
Delany introduced the subject by saying " it would
be long before I would take O'Connell as I did him."
.My reply was, He knew little of me ; for in my official
capacity I would do to my father as to a stranger, and that
Pope and Prim-ate were alike to me, if transgressing
the, laws.' " If the above may be taken as a specimen
of Dr. Martin's candour in his whole account of this
transaction, we can only observe, that the position into
which he has thrust himself is not an enviable one.
We have from the first evinced no disposition to pro-
tect Mr. Duff against the consequences of his rash-
ness. Mr. Delany, through the influence of his High
Church friends, had gained permission to preach in the
Methodist Chapel, nor had Mr. Duff any warrant to
interfere with his doing so. Ignorance of that which
he ought to know is no excuse for any man who trans-
gresses the limits of his duty. It should not skreen
an unpaid Magistrate—still less one in the situation
which Mr. Duff' holds ; nor has it protected him from
merited censure in this ease, qualified and extenuated
as it appears to be by his zeal and solicitude for the
preservation of the public peace. For there are &-
curnstances and considerations which greatly m:tiaate
the - character of the error lie has committed.
The apprehension of a popular .conunotion and
riot, by which he was undoubtedly actuated, cp.
pears not to have been the mere creature of his ima-
gination, but a rational fear, grounded upon the
experience of what had previously occurred in that
very district some short time before. Our readers may
possilily recollect a statement which appeared in the
A/or:lbw Chronicle some months back, respecting the
Reverend Doctor who has taken up the cudgels so
war:nly in this quarrel, as occupying " the chief reli-
gious serration." Doctor Martin thought it expedi-
ent, as we were then informed and told the public, to
deliver controversial sermons in the evenings from his'
pulpit in Killyshandra ; and with such of nct did he
inflame the zeal of his hearers, that one night, after
he had primed them well with polemics, a banditti,
composed of persons hOldinc, a very conspicuous " re-
ligious situation " in the history of Irish atrocities,
sallied out'into the country, and racked the houses of
several of the poor Roman Catholic inhabitants.
This unprovoked outrage followed so close upon the
delivery of Dr. Martin's denunciation of Popery,
that it would be an affront, which he would not
readily forgive, not to suppose that it was the im-
mediate consequence of his inspiring eloquence. With
such a fact before him, Mr. Duff was fully justi-
fied, we think, in apprehending a tumult as likely to
result from Mr. Delany's proposed exhibition under the
sanction of Dr. Martin, though he certainly over-rated
his own powers in the means he took to prevent it.
Dr. Martin's letters are before the public, and show
bow admirably qualified he is, by temper and discre-
tion, to put himself forward in an address to the Pro-
testants of the United Kingdom as the vindicator and
defender of their rights. A religious champion should
be made of cooler stuff. Because his dignity, as filling
the chief religious situation (certainly the most lu-
crative one) in his little popedom of Killyshandra had
not been recognised by an " immediate" answer, and
Mr. Drummond had been guilty of the &se majestj of
suffering one post to slip by without honouring the
shadow of Doctor Martin's shoe-tie, he breaks out
into the most furious invectives, and almost charges
the Government with an intention to suppress the
Protestant worship. Dr. Martin is undoubtedly a
very great man at Killyshandra ; but we fear that if
all his attempts to puff himself prove as unfortunate
as the present, he will only acquire the reputation of a
very great coxcomb everywhere else.—Morn. Chron.

" To make a little go a great way" is, we believe,
the chef cr (enure of economy, as well in regard to po-
litics as to provender; and that the Government agents,
instructed by their masters, flatter themselves that they
are quite competent to the consummation of that sort
of work, their vapourings of the last day or two abun-
dantly demonstrate. We do not allude to any achieve-
ment they have made as to provender. They beat us
upon that point, we know. Were we to dispute the
fact, they would show with how little refuse meat they
manage to make soup for many paupers, and so stop
our mouths unsatisfactorily, but conclusively, as they
stop the mouths of the inmates of Whig workhouses.
We speak of politics only. We allude to the account
to which the Ministerial prints are trying to turn the
East Cumberland election, and the dinner at Leeds.
As to the first, it would seem that Mr. James is, or is
to be, returned for East Cumberland without opposi-
tion. Upon this the Ministerial prints plume them-
selves with all the airs of a dunghill cock, that having
been well thrashed in fifty places, happens to succeed
by accident in one. They say, " Surely, surely, we may
set this against Newcastle." Let them—and what then ?
Why, we have many, very many, elections remaining still,
against which they have nothing to set but their own well-
bruised heads, which returned nothing on any past occa-
sion but what nature has destined them to return on all
occasions—mere empty sounds. The Newcastle elec-
tion, moreover, turned upon two points—the Irish
IVlunicipal Bill and the " Great Blow to Protestantism
Bill," both of which were formally rejected at New-
castle. No test has marked Mr. James's new jump to
St. Stephen's. The reason of this it is not our business
to inquire. We know, however, that Sir James Gra-
ham is the other member, and we know also that if we
desired to show off a thorough bred to the best adAan-
taffe, nothing would please us better than to have a
Smithfield'-'
hack alongside him. If we thought 'the
public had resolved on every occasion, as we are happy
to say they do on some, to compare the characters and
the capabilities of members for the same district, when
their votes are on different sides, we should be inclined
to suspect that the Conservatives of East Cumberland
—finding it impossible to return as good a member as
Sir James Graham, had resolved, as " the next best
thing," to send Mr. James to Parliament as his foil.
Let us observe in passing—and it is worth only an ob-
servation, by-the-by—that some of the Radical prints
propose that at the next general election Lord John
Russell shall start with Mr. James for Cumberland—
that is to say, that John, the Whig-, and a Lord be-
sides, shall be yoked with a rabid Radical. Now, such
cattle may be made to approximate perhaps, but eel,
tainly they can never pull together. Still we should
not be surprised to see the attempt made : for unless
Lord John sneak in for a close borough, he will have
to beg as hard for a constituency as O'Connell begs
for coppers. In conclusion, on this head, we point to
Essex, Warwick, Wales, Newcastle, and a dozen other
places, begging in return, if the Ministerialists please,
more than one election on their side, as a " set-off"
against the whole. We pass to the Leeds dinner, and

we are not at all surprised, considering the many and
numerously attended meetings of Conservatives which
have recently been held, that the Whig-Radicals are
rather ashamed of the begged, borrowed, and crimped
123 that were collected with so much difficulty out of
a population -of 976,415 to a feed in honour of Lord
Morpeth and his master at Leeds. They tell us now
that it was a private dinner. If this be so, how will
Mr. Rice's superficial inch scale cramp the local
" Court Circulars" of provincial newspapers, when
several columns are thought necessary for the descrip-
tion of a mayor's private dinner I The truth, how-
ever, is clearly this :—The Leeds Whigs tried to
get up a public Ministerial dinner, and they failed.
The number of persons pressed for the service was
too large for a private, and too small for a public
dinner ; so the may or was made pony—the dinner
was called his dinner ; and thus it was thought to
kill two birds with one stone—magnify the Muni-
cipal Bill, and lend Lord Liston and his col-
leagues a lift. The Government prints, we observe,
are exceedingly enraged at Sir George Strickland for
his speech respecting the House of Lords ; and from
the demonstration they make on the subject, it is quite
clear that their masters, the Ministers, desire to continue
the parade of that hacknied bugbear, Peerage Reform.
What a mistake ! Have the Ministers really per-
suaded themselves that the Lords have as little cou-
rage, and the respectable portion of the community as
little honesty, as themselves ? Peerage Reform,
indeed ! Why, when Lord John Russell becomes
six feet high, and Mr. Rice ceases to be a shuffier—
when Cupid cuts his mama, and attaches himself to
Minerva—when Lord Melbourne learns to speak like
a gentleman, and Lord Holland recollects how to apply
the jests he has been crammed with by the Joe Millers
,of Holland-house—when O'Connell is taught to speak
the truth, and Lord Ebrington rises above the grade of
a cat's-paw—then the House of Lords may be abo-
lished ; but until then we think we may promise the
Government and our readers, that that illustrious as-
sembly will continue for the benefit of their country,
and so for their own honour and credit, to correct the
errors and to counteract the unconstitutional attempts
of the motley majority of the Commons, who never
pull together but when they tug at the strings of their
puppets, the Ministers, for the purpose of moving
them to mischief.—Times.

Every mail from Ireland brings fresh subject of la-
mentation to the faction who deny equality of rights to
our fellow-subjects on the other side of the channel.
The accession of the Roman Catholic Bishops to the
" General Association" is made a subject of the gravest
accusation against the Romish hierarchy by the Tory
press in both countries, which in the holy fury of its
persecuting zeal perceives not that in denouncing the
Roman Catholic Bishops for 'becoming members of a
political association, they necessarily condemn the Pro-
testant Bishops who lend the sanction of their coun-
tenance to that pure and patriotic assembly the House
of Lords. We are ourselves averse to the interference
of churchmen in secular affairs, unless in extreme cases;
but Ireland is an extreme case ; and just as we should
object. to women or children being admitted or 'called
upon to serve in the army in ordinary times, yet when
their houses and altars are attacked, we admire the de-
votion which prompts the heroine to forget her sex in
defence of all that is dear to her, or the child who offers
his .life to his country—so the union and co-operation
of the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, with a body
constituted for the purpose of rescuing that country
from civil and religious persecution, is not a matter of
censure, but of commendation. Such is the injustice
attempted to be perpetuated in Ireland, that apathy or
inattention pf any individual, however high his rank or
sacred his profession, would be a crime—and it is
truly gratifying to observe the enthusiasm with which
men of all shades of liberal opinions arc assisting in
the combination which is destined to regenerate the
country. It is to Leland that the eyes of all Refor-
mers are now turned as to the chief point of opera-
It is the ground on which the approaching
struggle must take place—and in proportion to the
energy and determina/ion manifested by the Irish Re-
formers themselves must be the support which they
may expect from their friends in this country. The
Tory journals endeavour to excite alarm with respect
to the ulterior designs of Roman Catholics, but few
are now so besotted as to give attention to these wild
visions of religious frenzy. It is urged that the ob-
ject of the Ministry is to deal a deathblow to the es-
tablished religion, and elevate the Roman Catholic
to an ascendancy—the malevolence and falsehood of
such allegation is too manifest to need refutation.
Where the majority of the people are of a particular
religion, if equal laws obtain, that majority must have
an ascendancy : but this is not religious ascendancy,
it is the ascendancy of the majority, which in all states
should take precedence of that of the minority. If the
principle of Catholic emancipation he carried into full
operation, the majority of the Irish people will no
longer be left at the mercy of an intolerant minority.
The-Tories are not satisfied to maintain an ascendancy
in religion, but in all matters of polity they deprecate
the admission- of any but the favoured few to the rights
of citizenship, and yet surprise is expressed that the
people of Ireland are not more tranquil under the ex-
clusion of which they are victims ; whereas, what
should really excite wonder is the general tranquillity
which prevails there, and which we trust will continue
till a better system be introduced, or until such an or-
ganization be perfected as will render opposition hope-
less.—Morning Advertiser.

If it be true that the King's representative in Ire-
land has really abused the prerogative of mercy, by
mitigating the very lenient sentences of the hardened
culprits who conspired to take away the life of an in-
nocent man, on a trumped up charge of murder, he
has incurred a very awkward responsibility. We need
not inform our readers that we are not advocates for an
over-severity of punishment. Our long-continued ex-
ertions to civilise the Criminal Code, by purifying it
from an enormous redundancy of capital Statutes,
prove that we would not have cruelty or revenge prac-
tised under the name of justice. We have observed
too carefully and closely the working of our system of
criminal law, not to be convinced that the interests of
society, as well as the principles of our pure and holy
religion, require that the laws which are intended to
repress crime should be free from all taint of vindictive
passion, and that punishments should be moderate
and reasonable in order to be effective. But though we
object to punishments of blood, which our Whig ru-
lers would make familiar again in this country if they
dared, we have no desire to see great crimes perpe-
trated with impunity, or the prerogative of mercy
abused in rescuing great criminals from the grasp of
justice, when justice has not in their case ex-
ceeded the bounds of a reasonable severity. That
the punishment awarded to Corrigan, Doyle, and
Fleming, the perjured conspirators against the life of
farmer Sly, exceeded the bounds of moderation, no-
body who looks upon an attempt to murder by false
evidence as a great and atrocious crime, will assert.
What was that punishment ? Four months' imprison-
ment, to be followed by seven years' transportation.
This was the sentence which the late Baron Smith
pronounced—a sentence which most persons will be
disposed to believe rather fell short of than exceeded
the enormous depravity of the crime ; vet we are now
told that his Excellency the Lord 'Lieutenant of
Ireland has been graciously pleased to remit the re-
maining period of the imprisonment of those convicted
ruffians, they having now suffered only two months'
imprisonment, and has ordered them to be taken from
the gaol to the hulk at Kingstown, • to await further
orders,
"which," says the Carlow Sentinel, " in all
probability, may amount to the remission of the '
a
sen-
tence altogether • and thus, like the brother of Priest
Gahan, they my again be let loose upon civilised
society.,, Considering the nature of the crime, which
is the very worst species of murder, we cannot—
statement of our Dublin Correspondent
although the
agrees with that in the Irish Paper which we have
quoted—bring ourselves to believe, that even Lord
Alulgrave, unless acting under orders from the Home
Office, will dare to commit such an outrage upon jus-
tice as to remit that part of the sentence of those crimi-
nalseectbeenctoruarnasgpeomrteeidlt
tforo s
crimesev which orders theamditren
years I This would be
of such a nature, and would form a strange illustration
of the Whig-liadical mode of inspiring confidence in
the pure and impartial administration of " justice in
Ireland." The life of Sly, doomed by those nefarious

conspirators to ignominious extermination on the gal- •
lows, for a crime of which not only he was innocent,
but which had no existence whatever, was providentially
saved ; but the unfortunate man—unfortunate, though
he escaped from the toils of those who lay in wait for
innocent blood—has been ruined, it appears, in his cir-
cumstances, in consequence of the expense, and the
neglect of his business, which the prosecution occa-
sioned him. Lord Mulgrave would have acted with a
truer feeling of justice and morality, if he had made a
liberal donation out of his large salary towards com-
pensating this persecuted man for his sufferings, instead
of sympathising with the culprits who inflicted those
misfortunes upon him. Our Whig rulers sternly car- '
ried the law of blood into execution the other day,
against three Irishmen, convicted of highway robbery,
at Shrewsbury, and who had used violence in the per-
petration of the crime, but did not murder, though
they might have done so. Greatly inferior was the
malignity of their offence to that of the three criminals
who would have made justice itself accessary to the
crime of deliberate assassination—but for whose crime
our Whig rulers consider seven years' transportation
too severe a punishment I—Morning Herald.
That portion of the Parisian and London press
which has, in defiance of facts and truth, kept up
since the commencement of the contest a systematic
delusion on Spanish affairs, is attempting now to cor-
rect the strong effect which the last revolutionary
movement at Madrid and in the provinces has pro-
duced on the public mind, and to persuade its dupes
that the Constitution just proclaimed is not the Con-
stitution of 1812, but a rallying word for the nation
to be adapted to the circumstances of the country
when the Cortes meet. We should gladly learn
where they find the declaration of any such inten-
tion given by those who effected the revolution,
and on what Spanish authority they assert that
the coming Cortes are empowered to cut out of the
old Charter all that is revolutionary and disgrace-
ful ? The Queen, it is said, has given but a
qualified assent to the proclamation of the law of
1812, and that the great body of influential persons
accept of it as a temporary inconvenience, to be re-
moved by the meeting of the Chambers. But such
reasoning is in direct opposition to all the latest ac-
counts from the capital and the provinces, and it is
clear that the party who proclaimed the Constitution
are still as powerful as ever, and watchful that the
measure which they have revived shall not be cur-
tailed of any part of its full Radical value by the Mo-
derate party. While the Carlists rest unmoved, wait-
ing for the course of events which will permit them to
display their feelings with security, the Radical party
is all powerful, and will continue to be masters of the
field, the Queen will be a cipher in their hands to
proclaim any ridiculous experiment they may fancy,
and the Captain-General will be yet the slave of the
infuriated soldiery. Sergeant Garcia will patrol the
streets with his great club and threaten destruction on
all who may comment on his ferocity, and the pro-
vincial Juntas are just as full of the elements of mis-
chief as they were before their favourite measure was
forced upon the royal will. It is indeed the height of
absurdity to imagine that those parties who made the
revolution will allow the whole spirit of the thing
to be extracted, and the Charter of 1812 cut down
to the Estatuto Real. Even if the Deputies were
willing to do so at Madrid, there are the Juntas at
Malaga, Saragossa, Cadiz, and Barcelona ever ready
to watch their proceedings, and to sound the alarm bell
at the least symptom of mutilation. The best proof
of the ascendancy of the Radical party is the large
emigration, composed of the greater part of families of
fortune and consideration, which is hourly going on
from Spain to France. Why do these people leave ?
Because they know that the Constitution of 1812 is
definitively established, and that nothing short of the
triumph of Don Carlos can overturn it. The Malaga
Junta has declared that it will resist any material alte-
ration in the new fundamental law ; and some of the
others have declared that they will not dissolve their
association until they are assured that the Constitution
of 1812 will not be altered. In short, so far as the
nation is committed by word and deed, the matter is
decided, and it is no better than a Stock Exchange
delusion to pretend that the Constitution will be re-
formed when the Cortes meet. No doubt the Queen
would gladly lend her aid to escape the odium which
falls upon her name for the re-enactment of that
bloody code ; and all reflecting persons connected
with her Government look anxiously to some-
thing being done, in order that the confidence
of her allies and the general toleration of Europe
should not be withdrawn. But the question does
not turn upon their joint inclination, but on the
power of that faction which has proclaimed treason
throughout the country. Spain has before it either
of two alternatives—the Constitution or Don Carlos.
As to the Juste Milieu and the Estatuto Real, they
were only suited to sleepy and theoretical heads like
Martinez de la Rosa and his associates. They are
erased out of the minds as well as the wishes of the
nation, and nothing short of the establishment of an
extreme party can now be the result. Let, therefore,
the English people be on their guard at the fresh de-
lusion which is preparing for them. The next divi-
dend on Spanish Stock will be due early in November,
and it is with the hope of providing money for that
period that the consoling idea has been sent abroad,
that the late military revolution means nothing more
than a temporary measure until the Cortes meet, and
establish the prosperity of the country on a sure basis.

WEST KENT AGRICULTURAL REPORT.—"TIIC
business of the harvest field has been considerably retarded by
the late rains, which, although they have not caused very ex-
tensive injury to the grain crops, have in some situations,
where there has not been a free current of air, such as in low
small fields, surrounded by high hedges or woods, caused the
grain to show symptoms of sprouting. The fine blowing days,
however, during the past week, have enabled the farmer to
cart the principal part of the wheats in tolerable (not good)
condition; that portion which had been got in before the rains
will come best to hand when thrashed, and the straw will be
better. The yield will not be great, some trifling proportion
under an average crop, but there is already a sufficient portion
secured to insure a tolerable sound loaf. Oats and barleys
have been partially got in, although there are still many fields
of the latter standing, to the annoyance of the sportsmen. The
progress of vegetation has been very rapid within the last
ten days. Turnips, Swedes, and mange' wurzel are
very luxuriant and promising. The meadows are full of after-
grass, and there is also plenty of sheep feed in the pastures
and grattons. The hops have improved within these few days.
Where there was plenty of bine and free from mould, the rains
have mellowed the surface and the fibrous roots, even to the
top of the ground are conveying a plentiful supply of sap to
mature the crop. Picking will probably commence about the
12th or 15th.

' On Wednesday morning, between three and four
o'clock, as three Irishmen were gathering worms in the mea-
dow near the King's Park, with the intention of fishing in
Lochend, they were accosted by two soldiers of the 79th
Highlanders, forming part of the Abbey guard, and one of the
soldiers, named Macintyre, asked them to go shares for some
liquor. The Irishmen, however, declined, alleging that they
had no money; upon which the soldiers retired a short dis-
tance, but soon afterwards returned. Macintyre then ad-
vanced, and suddenly drawing a bayonet from under his coat,
stabbed one of the Irishmen called Mullen Taylor on the hin-
der part, at the same time uttering an imprecation. The ruf-
fian then threatened the two remaining Irishmen, who, how-
ever, fled from the scene, and reported the circumstance at
the Canongate watch-house. Two police officers having pro-
ceeded to the spot, they saw Macintyre in the lane
leading to the Abbey-square shouting out " murder," and
afterwards exclaiming, " I have given him four inches." The
officers then desired the serjeant on duty to cause the guard to
fall in and take Macintyre into custody, which was accordingly
done. The poor man who was wounded was immediately
conveyed to the Infirmary. He had lost a considerable quan-
tity of blood, and was found to be severely injured. Macin-
tyre has been handed over to the civil outhorities, and the She-
riff has instituted a strict investigation into the circumstances.

Covent Garden market on Saturday morning exhi-
bited an overwhelming quantity of the luxuries of the season
in fruits and vegetables; peaches, nectarines, apricots, figs,
melons, grapes and pines were in high perfection, and very
reasonable in price ; apples, pears, and plums, were also abun-
dant, and extremely fine ; there was a large importation of fine
black grapes from Guernsey or Jersey, quite equal in flavour
to those produced in our hothouses ; Hamburg and Spanish
melons were in great plenty, keeping in check the price of
English melons, which in taste are far superior; green pease
and French beans, turnips, cabbages, cauliflowers, greens,
spinach and potatoes are much improved both in size and fla-
vour by the recent rains ; especially turnips, about which there
were at one time serious fears entertained of a diminished
crop ; onions were abundant and very fine ; the large impor-
tation of this useful vegetable from Spain and Portugal keeps
down the price, to a certain extent, of those of our own
growth. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, there is not
the slightest appearance of a short crop of potatoes, from the
quantity and the price of those brought to Covent Garden.
