DUBLIN, OCT. 21.

VACANT JUDGESHIP,—*Up to yesterday, we understand,
' the vacancy was not filled. We can kriow only the causes
of such official delays by report. The report is that Mr.
O'Loghlen4 who at first positir refused, is still unwil-
ling to accept the vacant Judgeshil.'—that the Government
hesitai,a to give to the next in preceder, cc the office, as that
Mr. Woulfe, and
wouldleave the Solicitor-Generalship to . M
, that the Government shrinks from the appet;rance of having
the Irish Attorney and Solicitor-Generalship ,both filled at
s
the same time by Catholics. Now, we trust that !he report
of a feeling so discreditable to the Government 1, without
foundation. If two Catholics have,by professional eminence
and personal character—which every one allows to M essrs.
O'Loghlen and Woulfe—qualified themselves to fill elese
stations—what matter whether they are Catholics or
not When will statesmen in office comprehend the
times, iLie countries, the parties which surround them,
and their own interests ? Why, when the sound policy
of the Government is expressly to obliterate religious dis-
tinctions—why should religion form an ingredient where
talents and chara;ter alone ought to influence—and thereby
religious distinctions be kept up by those who desire
them to be obliterated ? This we can say, and we know the
people well, that the peopLl at large never ask is be a Ca-
tholic ? But is he a good con.‘:itutional lawyer, an impar-
tial and incorruptible man ? Let ih:tt be well answered, and
they will neither be offended at the promotion of a Protes-
tant, nor propitiated by the preference .
of a Catholic. Do
the Government fear to meet the Prote: tants upon the
point ? Why, the Liberal portion of the Protestants will
just feel the case as we have already described--personal
eligibility, without. reference to creed, is all they ask. And,
as for the Orangemen, nothing the Whigs can do will .abate
their rancour or calumny. They will hate them, do What
they can—and abuse them, do what they may. See boor
the Orange press—calculating on Mr. O'Loghlen's accept-
ance of the Judgeship—have already turned it that the
Ministry must succumb to the Catholics, and must put a
Catholic on the bench. Well, Mr. Richards is a Protes-
tant, and out of their own mouths they can be convicted,
should he get the vacant post. But really these things
should be decided upon higher grounds than on what
Orangemen, or their press, choose to state one way or
other, or any reference to this man as a Catholic, or that
us a Protestant. If Mr. O'Loghlen really does wish to
decline the post, and that Mr. Richards is entitled to it by
precedence, he is entitled every other way ; and let him get
his right, without any reference to the s,linders or intimida-
tion of faction. "Be just., and fear not." This maxim
should govern more than the appointment of s:n officer ; but
this should not be shrunk from, when the right of the Go-
vernment to appoint is in question. Again we say, "Be
just, and fear not."--Pilot.
REPRESENTATION .OF THE COUNTY OF CORK.—We are
authorised to state that the two paragraphs, announcing
that Mr. Edmond Roche, of Trabolgan, was to come
forward as a candidate for the representation of the county
of Cork at the next election, were not authorised or sanc-
tioned by that gentleman or by his father. In con-
nexion with the subject of the representation of the
county, it becomes our duty—and we perform it with re-
gret—to announce that Lord Ennismore, to whom the
Likral Constituency turned as the individual who was
certain to obtain an almost unanimous support, in conside-
ration of his known public principles and private worth, is
obliged, though reluctantly, to decline the honour of coming
forward as a candidate. In making this announcement, it
is unneceoary to accompany it with any other explanation
than this—t:iat the declension of Lord Ennismore has not
been produced, or influenced in the slightest degree, by any
difference of opinion with the Liberal Constituency of the
county upon any one subject which they have at heart.—

The following corresondence has been published :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE .DUBLIN FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.
_i3rookmorris, Oct. 27, 1836.

SIR—As I find, not only frail: what took place at Ccrl:,
contained in ether papers, but b; a letter from Mr. Kyle
himself to inform me which is the corri4ict account, that Mr.
Kyle did not profess to repeat anything that had been said
by me when in conversation, but only a ronort that I had
expressed the opinions attributed to me at another place,
think it only fair to him to absolve him from lny charge
that might seem to be implied in my letter, of having re-
peated in public any private conversations between tne and
him. ;When I wrote before, I had only seen the .7pec.ititor,
which had given me that impression, which, however, the
real facts of the case do not warrant. Ido this sponta-
neously, as an act of common justice to Mr. Kyle, repeat-
ing, however, my denial that the report itself is true.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
EDMUND PHIPPS.

TO THE EDITQa OF THE STANDARD.

October 31.

Sin—Havill4 been a letter in the Freeman's Journal of
the osth instant, bea:ing the signature of the Hon. Edmund
Phipps, in tvhich that g.7ntleman absolves me of the charge
whitili his letter to the Elloor of the Dublin Evening Post
of October 21 may see :o to have implied against me,
namely, of having repeated 0.. public any private conversa-
tions between me and him, I wel, on my part, no hesitation
in expressing my regret for having given further circulation
to a report concerning him, which II now believe to have
been without foundation.

I am, Sir, your very obedient :Layout,
H. S. KYLE.

PASSIVE REF.ISTANCE.—The men of Enniseorthy, and
indeed, of Wexford generally, haVe showed at all times a
most inveterate hatred of tithes and the highest respe,lt for
the law. Elsewhere the parsons are attempting to enforce,
by law, the most unequitable claim that ever one man made
on another, and by letting the law take its course, the men
of Wexford.are defeating these claims.' Our re,zders will
have a fair idea of the passive resistance that is g;ven to
this obnoxious impost when we tell them that among fifty
thousand men not one could be found to bid one penny tor
any of the cattle seized for tithes.—Freeman.
REPRESENTATIVE. PEER.—The election for a Represen-
tative Peer in the place of the late Lord Dufferin, closed
at twelve o'clock last night in the return of the Tory Lord
Hawartial'f by a majority of fifty-eight over Lord Listrore.
Warrs of 11:.'itELLioN--We learn from the Limerick
Star, that an office ;Fill be opened immediately in that
city, to facilitate the filing of answers to Exchequer gills,
thereby for ever rendering writs of rebellion impossible to
be issued. .

CROTTY.—The notorious Crotty, who in Birr acted the
part of Catholic priest, in Belfast of Episcopalian, has ❑ow,
in Scotland embraced, with equal sincerity, the Presbyterian
religion. Arc the followers of him and his congenial bro-
ther.irt liirr now convinced ? We refer to the Scotsman
for his Scotch profession of faith.
Lady Dover, Lord Morpeth, and the Duke of Suther-
land, have received from the inhabitants of Craig► addresses,
which the personages addressed have gratefully answered.

The young Prince de Canino has fOnnally appealed
against the sentence lately pronouned upon Litih The ap-
peal lies to the Sacra GansuPa.

MADRID IN 1835.—These highly in:cresting vo-
hitties, which have just appeared, are full of point, charac-
ter, and incident to amuse their readers. The demoralising
influence of the priests on Spanish society, their exactions,
their tyranny, and their fanaticism are depicted with a
master's hand, and the debasing effects of blind supersti-
tion are powerfully displayed. Whether regarded as a
work of entertainment, or as one of imlusetnent, it cannot
fail to be gorterally liked by the public,
