SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Sir George Sinclair complained last night of the
Postponement by Ministers of the Church of Ireland
Bill, for the sake of proceeding with the English
Tithe Bill :
" Week after week (said the Hon. Baronet), and month
after month, the question remained in abeyance, and was
treated with as little ceremony as if it were a measure for
lighting and paving the town of Belfast. He could not re.
coneile this course with his notions of what constituted
manly, straightford, Statesmanlike, and patriotic conduct.
There was only one reason which he could assign for the
Conduct of his Majesty's Ministers in this respect. It was
that they found the appropriation clause a very convenient
mill-stone to hang round the neck of the Lords—a very ser-
viceable catapulta with which to break down the barriers of
the House they wish to get rid of."

Lord John Russell observed, that the Hon. Baro-
net did not seem to have paid the slightest attention to
the events of the last few years ; and having given for
his edification a brief outline of the history of the Irish
Tithe Bills, which had been successively thrown out
by the House of Lords, he remarked that " another
Bill had been brought in, and that Bill would be pro-
ceeded with, although he might not entertain the
hopes which he had cherished in two preceding years
of its passing into a law. With respect to the English
Tithe Bill, it was brought into the House early in
February, while the Bill for the settlement of the Irish
Church question was introduced some months later."
As the Hon. Baronet last autumn affected, in a pub-
lished letter, to be deep in the confidence of the Lords
and chose even to disclose the tactics of that body, by
acting on which he thought they must be successful,
how does it happen that he now talks of hanging mill-
stones round the necks of the Lords, and breaking
down the barriers of their House ? According to the
Hon. Baronet's letter of last year, the Lords have
only to take their stand against all concession what-
ever, to be able to set their opponents at defiance.
There was no fear then of catapultas—the barriers
then could resist all battering—the very possibility of
mill-stones hanging round their Lordships necks was
then scouted. But this is always the way with weak
people. They allow their foolhardiness to involve
them in enterprises beyond their strength ; and when
they find themselves overmatched, they complain
of injustice, and place their misfortunes to the
account of every cause, but their own imprudence.
The Duke of Wellington, as is well known, by
his imprudent eulogy of borouglunongering, pro-
voked the nation to the efforts which were crowned
with success by the Reform Act ; and we are much
mistaken if the insolent manner in which the Peers,
ever since the passing of that Act, have evinced their
hostility to all beneficial changes in our institutions,
do not greatly accelerate the reform of their Lordships'
House. In truth, the Lords are strong only by the
forbearance of the Commons. As individuals pos-
sessed of large estates, it is impossible that a number
of Peers should not possess great political influence.
In county elections this influence is much felt ; and
the Reform Bill left many small boroughs not much
mole independent than those which were placed in
schedul... A. With this influence the Peers ought to
have 'mein contented. Their nominees, it is true, no
longer constitute a majority of the Commons ; but
they have still many allies in that House. But when
they attempt to place their own House in opposition
to the Commons they occupy untenable ground, and
they must be defeated. They are without the means of
ofrerin!, effectual resistance to the Lower House ; and
in provinp that the two Houses cannot act together, as
they are governed by opposite principles, they merely
call on the nation to pronounce sentence of condemna-
tion on themselves. When we hear people talk of the
det,alnination of the Lords to make no concession, we
arc naturally led to ask in what manner they can
give enct to their determination ? No men can
carry on the Government of this country without the
concurrence of the House of Commons. The majo-
rity of SG, pronounced against the House of Lords,
settles the question with respect to the present Parlia-
;r:ent. Would an appeal to the nation prove more
successful on behalf of men who have refused justice
to Ireland ? No man in his senses would answer this
question in the affirmative. What, then, can the
Peers do ? Nothing. They may reject the proposi-
tions of the Commons ; but here they must stop. But
Can the Commons stop ? Are they, to send up to the
Upper House, measure after measure, and to witness
with unconcern the rejection or mutilation of such
rnersures ? Dare they; in the face of the people, of
wi!ose interests they are the guardians, tamely look on
wink! these interests are sacrificed, without taking
steps to prove that they arc equal to the trust reposed
in them, and know how to vindicate the rights of their
constituents ? Committed as they arc, a regard to
their own honour will not allow the Commons to re-
main passive. The Lords have deprived their friends
(who are numerous) in the Commons of all power of as-
sistin,, them. It cannot longer be contended that
the carers of the Lords arc imputable to human
frailty, in the face of so many repeated proofs of
their being governed by the principle of faction
and corrupt interest. It would be as absurd to pre-
tend that the conduct of the Lords can be fairly ac-
counted for, as to pretend that the decisions of the
tcar.oughinongering House of Commons against reform
were determined exclusively by a regard for the wel-
fare of the people. With this evidence, then, fur-
nished in such abundance by the Lords, of their being
governed by a principle utterly irreconcilable with the
welfare of the nation, every man in the Commons,
who wishes; to retain any character for honesty and
honour, must be prepared to follow up the vote of this
day week. The Lords may think that they have gone
too far, and close with the compromise proposed by
the Commons. This is their affair. But if they be
so ill advised as to hold out, the consequences can only
he beneficial to time people. The Lords have no
huger, thank God, the power to thwart the people ;
anal if they will not reconcile themselves to their al-
tereki position, but will persist in an irritating oppo-
sition to all reforms and improvements desired by the
nation, means must be taken for remedying the evil.
Any order of inen, which, instead of deriving its
greatness from the people, seeks to display a vain
power, by arraying itself against the people, only rushes
on its destruction.—Morning Chronicle.

—Time's.

Some interesting articles from the Irish newspapers
have fallen in our way, which throw a curious, though
not unexpected light, upon the spirit and motives
of eortain of the Irish Roman Catholic priesthood.
The I,.erson whose proceedings are thus elucidated is
a soniewiat prominent professor of the science of agi-
tation, viz. —the Rev. Father Maher, of Carlow. This
person's exploits, as a mob leader in the country, and
an instigator of the peasantry against their landlords,
all of course for the sake of " justice to the people of
Ireland," have been emblazoned before the Intimida-
tion Committee in characters which will never perish.
It will be recollected that in the course of that impres-
:sive speech, by which Colonel Bruen defended his own
ruanduct as a landlord and a gentleman, and heaped
snob overwhelming confutation upon Mr. Daniel
O'Connell—an accuser whom we acknowledge no con-
vieLi.on of falsehood would disgrace,—it had become ne-
CessfCy for the gallant officer to state some facts, not
the inc st creditable in the world to the said Rev. person-
tiage, e.;ther as a clergyman or a subject. Father
Maher is Stated to have undergone some extraordinary
Paroxysms of mortification, in consequence of that
chastisement administered by the Hon. Member for
Carlow. It would appear, indeed, by his own hand-
Avritin ,hat he at first had writhed under the lash with
rh) small sense of agony. But punishment which cor-
Yec, S some minds, only serves to make others in the
10112 'llll desperate and reckless. Father Maher, ac-
oidin-Tlv, addresses a letter to the Dublin E veninc,
Post, w.:,?rein he first falsifies a heinous charge brought
against Linn by the Hon. Member for Carlow, on the
authority of evidence given before the Intimidation
Committee, and then, as is usual in such disreputable
ases, triumphs over the falsehood of his own invention.
rather Maher's attempt to bully Mrs. Burgess into
ac unprincipled employment of her influence over her
.
husband, for purposes connected with the county of
Carl The
lady was a Roman Catholic—her husband a Protes-
tam, who had distinctly promised . his vote to Messrs.
Bruen and Kavanagh. The accusation was, that Father
I%.laber, %Oil! Mrs. Burgess, after confession, was
!praying cn his knees before the altar, had sent for her
to the v,stry-room, and there clone his utmost to ex-

tort from her a promise that she would exercise her in-
fluence with her husband to violate his word of honour
to Messrs. Kavanagh and Bruen, and to vote for Mr.
\rigors, the nominee of O'Connell and the priests.
This was the charge ; it was brought forward in the
testimony of Mr. Carrol, editor of the Carlow Sen-
tinel. It was corroborated in the most forcible man-
ner by a formal letter of complaint from Mr. Burgess
to the Popish Bishop Nolan, who appears to be under
the tuition of Priest Maher, as his bear-leader, and
who bestowed a frivolous and shabby notice on the
matter. It was afterwards, as appears from a letter
of Mr. Carrol in the Kilkenny Moderator of the
Bth instant, admitted, and scarcely palliated by Maher
himself, who declared " he thought it no harm to in-
terfere at such a time and place with Mrs. Burgess !"
So the affair stood until Colonel Bruen, provoked
at the villanous calumnies put in circulation by the
same Maher, and conveyed by him to that conge-
nial recipient of every foulness, the ear of Mr. Da-
niel O'Connell, referred to the immaculate Father
Maher, in his speech of self-justification against the
Maher and O'Connell libels, touching his conduct to-
wards tenants and otherwise in the county of Carlow ;
and what does the reader suppose was the honest fa-
ther's defence to the statement respecting Mrs. Bur-
gess ? Recollect, the allegation was, that this priest
had disturbed Mrs. Burgess while at her prayers,
" after confession," by sending for her, and tampering
with her for the breach of her husband's promise. He
says that it is utterly false that " he had ever used the
aniessional for political purposes," or that Mrs. Bur-
gess had ever " confessed to him !" There is a pre-
cious Jesuit for you I He is accused of one act, and
justifices himself from another, swaggering away about
" insult and injury," " indignant sense," " respect for
his own character," " the higher and holier considera-
tions which engaged his thoughts in the confessional I"
than any which regarded the politics of this life. Now,
the intriguing, blustering, restless Father Maher will
find the world not much disposed to believe, that if

his thoughts in the vestry-room were so intent on " the
politics of this life," as to render him incapable of for-
bearing to molest a religious woman, even while praying
at the altar, by base solicitations for the breach of her
husband's honour, he could have been, when but a few
yards off; in the confessional, very exclusively or de-
voutly intent on "high and holy purposes. The
letter of this priest is a mass of vague pretension to
piety throughout, interlarded with the grossest hypo-
crisy, and attempting to carry off the mind of the
reader to cases of priestly interference, where the end
was to prevail on thieves and culprits to make restitu-
tion of sums which had fraudulently come into their
possession. Who doubts this ? 'Who denies that
where no nearer object interposes the Popish priest
will endeavour to strengthen his influence over peni-
tents by engaging them to absolve their consciences of
the weight of crimes not convertible to the service of
the Church ? What, in common with Colonel Bruen,
we do allege against this busy and malignant priest is,
that he has done his utmost on all occasions to inflame
against the laws, the Government, and the whole
Protestant community, the hatred and vengeance
of the lower orders of the people—that he has
become, like O'Connell, but even with more skill
than O'Connell, a pestilential incendiary against
the State, and a rancorous disturber of the pub-
lic peace and safety—that the prostitution of the
sacred office to secular and factious objects, has in the
case of Mr. Burgess (and in a hundred other forms,
as stated before the Committee) been irrefragably
proved ; and that priest Maher, and such other
" teachers of morality" to the poor Irish, are not fit to
be intrusted by Parliament with powers which bespeak
an attachment to the British monarchy, or which are
capable of being turned against the authority which
confers them. We quote the letter of Mr. Burgess to
Bishop Nolan, descriptive, on his wife's undisputed
testimony, of Father Maker's offence.

" Carlow, 4, Montgomery-street, Dec. 28, 1834.
" My Lord,—On my return home on last Wednesday
evening, from Dublin, I was not a little astonished to have
learned from Mrs. Burgess, that immediately after attend-
ing her confessional duties on that day, and while praying
at the altar, a woman called to her and informed her that
the Rev. James Maher wished to speak with her in the
vestry-room ; supposing, as she told me, that the call was
made to attend some religious duty, she immediately waited
on Mr. Maher, and having sat with him for some time, she
discovered, to her surprise, that the object of Mr. Maher's
interview was not connected with religion, but with politics?
As it is unnecessary to enter into any lengthened detail of the
particulars of the conversation which ensued, it is sufficient
to say that he used every means to induce her to exert her in-
fluence with me to violate my word of honour as a gentleman,
solemnly pledged to Mr. Bruen, and to vote for Mr. `ri-
gors. . ..... As a member of the Church of
England, I have been from the earliest period of my life on
principle tolerant, and in marrying a Roman Catholic lady,
I never interfered with her religious principles, as her friends
and those acquainted with me can bear testimony to. I
have too much common sense, however, to permit any
Rev. Gentleman to exert any undue influence over any
member of my family. I conceive religion and politics are
opposite terms, and when a clergyman forgets himself as a
religious pastor, becomes a politician, regardless of the im-
portant duties appertaining to his sacred profession, and la-
bours for political purposes to fling the torch of discord into
a family, thereby endangering the peace and domestic hap-
piness of the same, such clergyman obviously acts on a
principle calculated to injure the interests of religion, and
not likely to promote his political objects.' I regret being
under the necessity of trespassing on your attention on so
disagreeable a topic ; but I feel anxious to know whether
or not Mr. Maher had any authority from you for thus, as
I think, unwarrantably interfering with any member of my
family, inasmuch as from Mrs. Burgess's state of mind
after the interview she could not, as she stated to me, con-
scientiously proceed to take the sacrament on the day fol-
lowing the interview, as she had previously intended.
" I have the honour to remain, &c.

The attention of our readers will no doubt be spe-
cially directed to the proceedings of the House of
Commons last night respecting the Irish Municipal
Bill. The Chancellor of the Exchequer presented
the reasons which had been drawn up for the
purpose of convincing the Lords that the House of
Commons could not, on the one hand, agree with
propriety to the amendments which they had thought
proper to make in the Bill, and, on the other, that
they ought not to insist upon them. The reasons
assigned are of the most convincing, as well as the
most conciliatory character: but of what avail is it
what they are—what is their tenour—their bearing—
or their strong grounds ? Vanity of vanities ! all
is vanity':' Sooner will the Ethiopian change the
colour of his skin—the leopard get rid of his spots—
and the adder that is deaf to the voice of the charmer
display the sense of hearing—than the determined and
infatuated enemies of the people shall listen to the

voice of reason, of truth, and of justice. As we men-
tioned yesterday, the junta which forms the main-
spring of their movements, has determined to take its
stand of opposition to the Commons upon the Lords'
amendments ; and it would he a disgrace to the pro-
found wisdom of that venerable body, not to conclude
that its edicts will be implicitly complied with by the
great body of which it is at once the head and the or-
nament. The die, therefore, is cast—the crisis is ap-
proaching—and those who shall shrink from their duty
shall not, and ought not, to be held harmless. Yield
in this instance—compromise justice and right—and
the Commons of England will be. the laughing-stock
of all Europe.—Morning Advertiser.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer intimated yester-
day to the proprietors of the Times, Morning Herald,
and Morning Post, that he had determined to adhere
to his scheme of restriction as to the size of news-
papers. Should Parliament sanction the plan of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, all papers exceeding the
dimensions of 1,530 superficial inches will be subject
to double duty. The largest paper we and our con-
temporaries arc now in the habit of publishing, under
a law which enforces no limit as to size, exceeds the
above dimensions in the proportion of about one-
eighth. The House of Commons will, we trust, be
opinion their is neither reason nor equity in a scheme
which exposes such establishments as those of the
three journals we have mentioned to much immediate
expense and inconvenience for sake of a limitation
purely arbitrary in its nature, likely in its operation to
be productive .of direct loss to the revenue, and tend-
ing manifestly to render less satisfactory and efficient
publications in which the public take a considerable
interest. Nothing can be more obvious than that
double sheets, without any direct addition of duty, are
expensive to newspaper proprietors, and advantageous

to the readers and to the revenue. They are
never resorted to but when the influx of adver-
tisements and the supply of intelligence greatly exceed
the limits of a single paper. And is there any ap-
proach towards common sense in the imposition of a
tax upon us or upon our readers, either because the
advertisers who employ our columns happen, on a given
day, to be larger contributors to the revenue than
usual, or because Members of Parliament on the pre-
ceding night have spoken more than usual of such
matter as, consistently with our duty to the public, we
cannot omit ? The scheme is manifestly absurd as
well as unjust, and shows very clearly that the Finance
Minister who proposes it is utterly ignorant of the
interests which he is attempting to regulate. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer is not satisfied, however,
with the absurdity and injustice we have above de-
scribed, flagrant as they are. We are, it seems, if he can
carry his measure, to be subjected to a heavy tax, either
in the form of direct contribution to the Treasury, or in
that more ruinous form of a compulsory deterioration
of our journal, if we do not perfect mechanical arrange-
ments involving considerable labour and expense, with-
out any authoritative notice beyond that of a day or two
at the utmost. Mr. Spring Rice intends in his wisdom
that his graduated scale of duty upon newspapers ac-
cording to their size shall take effect on the sth of July.
It is now the 18th of June. The propositions of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer are to be debated in the
House of Commons on Monday next, which will he
the 20th. So that there will be fifteen days for the
measure to pass the two Houses of Parliament. Now,
surely it is not to be supposed that we can regard the
mere communication of the intention of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, unratified by Parliament, as an au-
thoritative notice of an alteration of the law, in virtue
of which we ought to incur considerable expense and
inconvenience by a change of the machinery required
in carrying on our business. Yet it is evident that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer indulges this unrea-
sonable expectation, or that in giving effect to his new
regulation so early as the sth of July, he must intend
to impose us and other newspaper proprietors similarly
situated, for a considerable period from and after the
sth of July next, the payment of considerable sums to
the Treasury, without remuneration, or the necessity
of making an unusual demand upon our subscribers ;
or, finally, the expedient of abridging the contents, and
deteriorating the quality, of our journal. We confi-
dently expect, however, that Parliament will, upon this
occasion, show that it is less irrational and less unjust
than the Chancellor of the Exchequer.—Morn. Post.

GRAND ROWING MATCH-OXFORD AND

The match of yesterday was one of the prettiest specimens
of rowing that has been witnessed for a considerable time.
Nothing in the shape of weather could deter the admirers of
this beautiful sport from attending. It would really be an im-
putation upon their good taste if it could ; and if there be any
who doubt the height at which the taste for this amusement
has risen, the coup devil of yesterday would set the matter at
rest. The Gentlemen of the respective Universities are " the
leading stars" of aquatics. In rowing the others are but
" small fry" in comparison. This match had, from the first
moment to the hour of rowing, created more than ordinary
interest. It was a thing upon which gentlemen might with
safety sport, but there had been a slight drawback in conse-
quence of the dispute relative to the distance, Oxford having
had a very strong desire to row a mile and a half with or
against tide, or from Putney to Hammersmith-bridge; while
the gentlemen of Cambridge were desirous of rowing the usual
and crack wager distance, from Westminster. An arrange-
ment was ultimately made, to the very great satisfaction of the
Londoners, as it is a treat to see a contest between eights,
and such eights as these, were enough to reconcile any man to
the prospect of a wet skin. The forenoon had given hopes of
better things, but the rain fell heavily two hours before the
match was to be started. Everything had been booked at the
respective boat-houses, and to view the sang froid with which
the gentlemen " peeled" as they took their stations in the dif-
ferent craft was really very amusing. They knew Oxford
and Cambridge were to contest, and that reconciled them to
the pelting of the pitiless storm. At four o'clock there was a
move towards the starting point, and the gentlemen who were
to compete immediately after made their appearance. Al-
though the rain descended in torrents all were gay; and if
ever rival crews felt confident they did. Cambridge won the
choice of station, certainly an advantage, as they took the
near shore. Oxford were to Southward. The signal was
given—the start delightful—and as soon as way was well on
they were out of sight. Cambridge went clean a-head, and in
each successive stroke gained upon their adversaries. The
Oxonians went in desperately facing the Eagle, but their at-
tempts to pass the other crew were ineffectual. The gentle-
men of Cambridge maintained the leading position, and won
by fifty-three seeonds.
The Oxonians never stood a shadow of a chance, although
they looked bigger men. Of the two boats in which the match
was rowed, neither were so good as might have been found
for such a wager. That of the Cambridge gentlemen was too
lofty. Had there been any wind out, they would have disco-
vered the secret. The Oxford boat was just the sort of thing
that any gentlemen would have picked to row round the Nore
Light or to Margate in. The stroke of the Cambridge was a
beautiful oarsman. lie pulled lengthly, " stretched out and
laid down well," as did those forward. The Oxonians gave a
sort of double stroke " niggling" kind of work, nor did they
set their boat so well as the rival University. The head
would cock up.
At Putney, after the victory had been won, the appearance
of the gentlemen was really anything but comfortable—all
were wet through, and those who had half a chance had laid
bold of any thing to grace their shoulders. Sofa corers and
Macintosh's were alike, nor were the amateurs very particular
what it was. The assemblage was immense, and Avis's, the
Star and Garter, and other houses on the banks of the river
were crowded to suffocation.

The following are the names of the gentlemen comprising
the crews :.......

CANIBIZIDGE. -Messrs. Granville, lipslier, Kean, Jones;
Hartley, Stanley, Green, Solly—ligan, coxswain.
OXFORD.-Messrs. Bayley, Moysay, Carter, Pennyfather,
Isham, Harris—Davis, coxswain.

A cricket match was played at Harrow on Thursday, the
16th instant, between eleven gentlemen of the Marylebone
Club and eleven geutlemen of Harrow School, which, after
some very good play on both sides, terminated in favour of the
latter, with nine wickets to go down. The batting of -
Fuller, Esq., of the Marylebone Club, called forth universal
admiration.

In the window of a dressmaker's shop in Prince's-
street, Drury-lane, may be seen a bill, stating that " Logins"
are " to be lett to a singe' woman;" enaing with the neces-
sary clue to particulars, " wring the uper bell."
