THE SUN, LONDON, THUngl:4;Ay, JANUARY 21, 1836

this day, which we have given in another part of our
paper, will be found such a commentary as ri ht have
been expected on the text, " Let men's breeds alone."
The staple of the article is, as usual., abuse of O'CQN-
ng
NELL, and a scandalous misrepresentation of the
principles and views of those Catholics who support

the first Administration which has ever. proved itself
sincerely desirous of doing justice to Ireland. Its
acrimonious tone—acrimonious even for the Times—
is easily accounted for from the state of hopelessness to
which the affairs of the party with which the Times
is now identified, are ; but we would draw the attention of
the reader particularly to the passage where it
is remarked of the Catholics, that " they did not
speak the truth, because . it was one of those
(many) occasions on which, according to thellr
hereditary creed, THEY DREAMT NOT OF KEEPING
FAITH WITH HERETICS." Now, if we were asked
where the best exposure of this atrocious calumny
against the Catholic religion, viz.—that it holds the
doctrine " that no faith is to be kept with heretics," is
to be found, we should say "in the Times"—in the
Times, however, as it was, not as it is—in the Times of
those days—now gone for ever—when that journal
stood foremost in the defence of truth, of justice, of
national improvement—of everything, in short, which
it now opposes and condemns.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday have
been received. Their contents are wholly unimpor-

Various rumours are in circulation on the sub-
ject of dissentions in the Cabinet, and the prevailing
tone of public feeling in the Chamber of Deputies;
but all is mere conjecture, unworthy of serious con-
sideration. These JourMals bring no new intelligence
from the North of Spain. _

PARIS JAN. 18.—We believe there is at least some ex-
aggeration, if there is not something else in what has been
said of the precarious state of health of the Duke of Or-
leans. We are assured, on the contrary, that the marriage
of the Prince is very seriously contemplated. The Prin-
cess spoken of is the daughter of Donna Maria Charlotte,
consort of the Infant Francis de Paula, and sister of Queen
Christina. The young Princess is 14 years of age ; it is
said that she will come to Paris in a few months with her
mother, and that the marriage will take place in a year.
This morning at 11 o'clock, the English Ambassador
M. Guizot and some Doctrinaire deputies, met at the Hotel
of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Urquhart, an
English diplomatist, has arrived at Paris in his way to
Constantinople. It is said that he is the bearer of impor-
tant dispatches for the English Ambassador in Turkey.
The Algesiras, Triton, Nestor, and Scipion, of the line,
and the Arteinise frigate now at Toulon, have received, as
we are assured, orders to be ready to put to sea at the
shortest notice.
A postscript to the Arinoricain of the 14th, says—" A
telegraphic dispatch of the 13th, announces that Admiral
Mackau just left Paris, and that, on his arrival at Brest, the
Jupiter (on board of which he will hoist his flag), the
Terpsichore, and the Oreste, will put to sea. They will be
followed in a week by the Jera and Santi Petri, of the line,
and by the Hernzione frigate?
After the equipment of the three last vessels, there will
still remain ten companies of seamen, so that two ships of
the line, or several frigates, might be immediately manned.
General Alava was to leave Bordeaux to-day, to come to
Paris.

PARIS, JAN. 19.—The bad health of the Duke of Or-
leans has been spoken of. We can say that he walked on
the Bois de Boulogne yesterday, with the Duke de Ne-
mours. His face, indeed, still bears some marks of fatigue,
but otherwise he seems to be well.

The expedition against.Tranezen had not yet left Oran
on the 7th ; it was announced, that it would set out on the
9th. It is evident, even from the Ministerial correspon-
dence, that the object of the expedition to Mascara has not
been obtained.—Messager, Jan. 19.

Bomism, THREE o'CLocK.—At Tortoni's, and at the open-
ing of the Bourse, the market was entirely passive. The
Three per Cents. 81f. 25c., offered; the Spanish stock rather
worse. About half-past 1 o'clock the price of the Three per
Cents. gave way, and fell to 81f. sc. ; no reason has been
assigned for it. The Spanish stock, on the contrary, has im-
proved, owing to a report that news from Madrid to the 12th
i
mentions that the vote of confidence has been passed n the
Chamber of Proceres by an immense majority. The Actives
dropped to 491, and are now 494. The stock has improved
at Madrid, and every thing was quiet.

Letters and Papers from Madrid, to the 11 th
inst. inclusive, have been received. The Legislative
Chambers were then engaged in the gradual removal
of those abuses which are only to be eradicated by
wise laws and a strong executive. Unmoved by the
threats of unmasked rebellion, and unshaken by the
fears, alarms, and terrors of timid neutrals, the
Members of the legislative body, in concert with the
President of the Council, were calmly deliberating upon
measures calculated to promote the welfare of the coun-
try, in unison with such constitutional acts as might
give a permanence to its liberal institutions. On the
sth instant, the project of law voting confidence in the
Government, which had passed the Chamber of De-
puties, was in due form laid before the Peers. By
order of the PRESIDENT it was read a first time, and
a Committee was named to take its details into consi-
deration. On the Bth the Committee made its report,
in which the Bill was approved of without any sug-
gested mutilation or amendment. It was then agreed
that the debate on the Bill should commence on the
1 1 th, as the Government wishes to have the law
perfected with as little delay as possible. Among all
well-informed persons in Madrid the prevailing opinion
was, that the Peers would pass the Bill precisely as
the Deputies sent it up to them, although several were
expected to be made against it.
In the Chamber of Deputies the Bill for the Regu-
lation of the National Guard was discussed for three
days in uninterrupted succession. This measure was
followed by one still more important—the Ministerial
project for establishing the Electoral law of Spain.
This measure—than which nonemoredeservin
careful revision can be submitted to the Spanish Le-
gislature—will occupy the Chambers
during a v ofry
considerable part of the present Session.

The speech of LOUIS PIIILLIPPE, on opening the
French Chambers, gave great satisfaction to the
Madrid Cabinet. M. MENDIZABAL openly avowed
himself delighted with those pledges which it con-
Quadruple tained relative to the observance of the

Treaty.
A report was in circulation in the political circles
of Madrid respecting the interception of a letter from
Don C Alums to a member of the royal family, in
which it was stated that a Russian agent was at the
camp of the Usurper, commissioned by the Cabinet of
St. Petersburgh to make terms with him for the pos-
session of the crown of Spain. According to this re-
port, which obtained implicit credit with several influ-
ential persons in the capital, the AUTOCRAT offered to
afford Don CARLOS sufficient aid to enable him to
ascend the Spanish throne, on condition of receiving,

The accounts from the north of Spain received by
the Government were exceedingly favourable. The
chief cause of complaint was the conduct of MINA—no

longer spoken of but as a blood-thirsty inhuman tyrant.
The property of the monks confiscated to the uses
of the State is estimated at 122,640,000 reals, or
1,226,4001. sterling.

The public will find, in another part of The Sun of
this day, the copy of a petition from the British mer-
chants residing at Canton, addressed to the King in
Council, on the subject of those grievances,- annoy-
ances, and indignities to which Englishmen are ex-
posed in their intercourse with the authorities of
the Celestial Empire. This petition is copied from
a work just published by Smith, Elder, and Co.
entitled " An Address to the people of Great Britain,
explanatory of our commereial relations with the em-
pire of China, and of the course of policy by which it
may be rendered an almost unbounded field for British
commerce." We have read over this Treatise with
much care, and cordially coincide in the principles laid
down and the views taken by the writer. These principles
and views we shall take an early occasion to dwell
upon ;' the more especially as the British Government
and the Directors of the East India Company appear
to he equally remiss in asserting the dignity of the
British people.

ODE to the GENTLEMAN in BLACK.

While others sing of war and love,
Sun, moon, and star, and mead, and grove,
Clear rill or whispering breeze ;
I'll change the theme by way of spree,
And chaunt a candid stave to thee,

Oh Mephistophiles
By thee this world is kept alive,
Grave bishops fatten, lawyers thrive,
Spring lions find their feeders ;
For had we not thy name to maul,
No parsons should we need at all,
Quack scribes, nor special pleaders.
They tell me that thine elfin crew
Are ever—ever on the hue
And cry to tempt a sinner,
That barristers you tempt with fees,
Aspiring Churchmen with degrees,
And poets with a dinner.
If so, for heaven's sake, bait with haunch
Of venison fit to fill my paunch,
Old wine, rich soup, and cod-fish,
Spread well your nets, and sure as fate,
I'll nibble at the tempting bait,

And you will book an odd fish.
Despotic fiend 1 all earth is thine,
Talk as we may, of mind divine,
Tis thou do'at give it weight—
While virtue starves in roofless garret,
Or prates unheeded like a parrot,
Thou rul'st in kingly state.
Sometimes in full lawn sleeves arrayed
Thou preachest peace, demure and staid,

And sometimes for a rare
Frolic, thou praisest Church and King,
And State, and all that sort of thing,
• Beside the Speaker's chair.
Old Johnson said, with venom big,
In principles thou art a Whig,
(Right hacknied is the story),
Formed but to dupe, defraud and lie,
But that's the very reason why
I'm sure thou art a Tory.
But now farewell, for hark, I hear
Enjoyment's truest chanticleer,
The sweet-toned dinner chime ;
So here's your honor's health, and when,
Most puissant Prince, we meet again,
It will not be in—rhyme.

COWES-TUESDAY.

AFFLICTING ACCIDENT-THREE LIVES
LOST!!!

The Pomona schooner sailed from Cowes Roads about
10, A.M., on Monday. Two pilots, John and George Rose,
father and son, went to pilot her out of the Needles. Sa-
muel White, son of Mr. Thomas White, ship-builder, went
with them, to see his brother, with was going to St. Mi-
chael's in the schooner, clear of the island. It appears
they were seen to leave the vessel about one, P.M., in a
small boat, (a 14-foot punt), to return to Cowes, about
two miles outside the Needles, the wind blowing fresh, and
soon after the sea overrun her. This being observed by
the Lady of the Lake tender, an attempt was made to
reach them ; but it blew so hard, they towed the stem
out of their boat, which was astern, and but for this ac-
cident they could have saved one of the party—two had
sunk. The schooner Hebe, of London, was very near
them, and also tried to render them assistance, throwing
ropes, to them ; but having sprung her main boom,
and carried away her main sheets, she was obliged to run
in under the island.

Thus perished the only hopes of a large family, Rose
leaving a wife and six children, all daughters. Had it
pleased Divine Providence to have spared only the son (a
youth 19 years of age) he would have been able to have
supported them. They now must depend upon the charity
of others, which we hope will be as freely and liberally
given as the 'destitute situation of this unfortunate family
deserves. White was a remarkably promising young
man, of great scientific attainments, and well known
to most of the shipowners in England as a first-rate naval
architect, and highly esteemed in the town. This is the
second loss Mr. White, sen., has experienced within a
short time—Mrs. White died, after a short illness, in
March last.

An accident of a singular nature happened a few years
since, when two pilots, Clarke and Derrick, and an officer
in the arms', were drowned near the same place, as they
were returning from a transport—the officer having been
out of the Needles with the pilots, to take leave of his
brother ; we hope it will caution others not to risk their
lives in such boats outside the Needles, at this season of
the year.
Our worthy Rector and the farmers of this parish,
(Northwood) seem not on the most friendly footing. The
liberal Gentleman is likely to experience some trouble in
the collection of his tithes, unless a new light should open
on him. It appears that the land was valued, and the tithe
fixed some twenty years ago, when wheat was 151. or 161.
per load, and the farmers think that valuation too high,
now wheat fetches only 9/. a load. As the Parson cannot
comprehend this, it is proposed that he should in future
take it in kind.
