tian, he ought to send them to the relief of the capi-
tal of the Basques. But by all means ought he to
take care lest the Carlists should surprise San Sebas-
tian. We by no means recommend him to so weaken
the garrison, as to be unable to hold out against a
sudden attack on his lines. If he have no confidence
in ESPARTERO, it would be madness indeed to ex-
pose himself to the approach of VILLA REAL.

There is no other news of moment in the French
Journals. Marshal CLAUSEL has obtained some
further advantages over the Arabs, near Oran. The
Presse states that the French Government has sent
orders to the Ambassador at Vienna to attend the
funeral Of CHARLES X.
PARIS, Nov. 21.—We are informed that which we an-
nounced in our last number is on the point of being realised.
M. de Polignac will be conveyed to England, and M.
Guernon de Ranville will go to his estate at Ranville, near
Caen. The solicitations of M. de Sebastiani, who has
married a relation of M. de Polignac, and of the superior
English aristocracy, in favour of the Ministers at Ham,
have been such that he could be no longer disregarded.—
Sentindle Picarde.

A journal says :—" It is affirmed that yesterday evening
Lord Granville made a communication relative to the
affairs of Portugal. One part of the evening the President
of the Council and the Minister of the Interior, were in
conference at the Palace. There is reason to believe that

the telegraph and couriers have transmitted orders for the
departure of ships to join our squadron, and that the Dili-
genie has received instructions to sail twain. A person at-
tached to the Legation was to embark on board that ves-
sel. The divorce of the Queen is spoken of, and the report
of a pretension is revived, sending to secure to the Duke of
Nemours the hand of Donna Maria."—lllessager, Nov 2.
Nov. Moniteur has no official article this
morning.
According to la Sentinelle there is reason to expect that
Rodil will refuse to resign his command. It is affirmed
that the King of Sardinia has placed 26 officers, naval and
military, at the disposal of the Pretender. These officers
have arrived in France with passports from their own
country, under the pretext of improving their knowledge of
their profession.
We have received Barcelona Journals to the 10th inst.,
which say that the Sardinian Government has sent away the
Spanish Consul from Genoa, and that the Vice-Consul at
Nice has been ordered to take down the arms of Spain.

We have received lettters and Papers from Madrid
of the 13th inst. They contain no news of the slightest
importance. According to accounts from Estremadura,
GomEZ andß OD IL were seemingly vying with each other
in the slowness of their movements. We cannot, how-
ever, believe that GomEz had not passed the Guadiana
before the date of these advices. The Cortes are
about to make an entire change in the Government of
the army.

We have received advices from Lisbon to the 16th
instant. The country waP, then tranquil.

The Conservatives, .svho are remarkable for their in-
genious discoveries ; who discovered a few weeks
since that the majority of the operatives entertain a
patriotic he
rror of the present Government ; and more
recently, that a re-action in favour of Toryism has
taker place throughout the country; have just made
t:ne most surprising discovery of all—namely, that the
Established Church has no connection with rank or
wealth ; does not exist, in its present form, for the
benefit of the privileged classes ; but is literally and
exclusively the poor man's Church I It is for his ad-
vantage that Archbishops enjoy an income of fifteen
thousand a year, and vote against Reform in the House
of Lords ; it is to make him religious, moral, happy,
and contented, that pluralists and non-residents do
little work and receive enormous pay ; that Deans and
Chapters abound in the golden gifts of Mammon ;
and that lordly Prelates, " clothed in purple and fine
linen," and faring " sumptuously every day," make a
point of speaking and voting against every measure
that has the slightest liberality to recommend it. It is
for the poor man's benefit—and for his only—say the
Conservatives, that the Church possesses all these fine
things. She is rich, solely that his pockets may be
filled thereby. She enacts the part of Dives, solely
that Lazarus may be the gainer by her performance.
Perish the notion that she heaps up wealth for her
own use ! She scorns the base impeachment, and makes
it her proudest boast, that all she has belongs to the
poor ; that all she says, is for their spiritual edification ;
that all she does, is with a view to the bettering of their
condition. In Ireland, this excellent disposition of
Mother Church towards the poor is remarkable. In
that thrice-fortunate country, the angelic old dame not
only qualifies her flock, by precept and example, to
figure among the saints in heaven, but even sends them
there, through the medium of a blunderbuss loaded
with her own apostolic hands. How many prepared
souls did she thus emancipate from the shackles of this
wicked world at Rathcormac I How many liberate
with equal zeal at Carriekshock ! There is actually no
end to her good deeds in this respect. She seems
never happy but when dispatching the poor to Para,
dise ; and wisely, therefore—most wisely—did the
Rev. Mr. TUFNELL observe, yesterday evening, at
the North Essex Conservative tneeting, that the
Church was the best and freest gif t that ever was be-
stowed upon the poor of g,
siy country." Equally ap-
propriate was the rtue'amrous apostrophe of Major AN-
DERSON, "141 a:ne people rally round the truly Apos-
tolic Ch.uin'a of England and Ireland ; the only pure
Chu"Ch, which had been truly designated the poor
man's church,' for to him its doors were ever open,
and without her provisions the poor must be left desti-
tute of the consolations of religion." That the people
will respond to this rallying call we hay not the
slightest doubt ; and just as little that they will fight
•to the last gasp in defence of Mother Church, ever
beaming in mind, that if she was once to be shorn of
her present wealth, the poor would be the sufferers, as
was incontestibly demonstrated when the apostolic
EXETER was deprived of his rich living of Stanhope.
It is really surprising to see the disinterestedness of
these high and wealthy Conservatives in their
conduct towards the Church. When it is borne
in mind that the
own showing, Establishment, even on their
exists not so much for their
benefit as
nsaesrvaftoirve thatofthe poor ; that there are
i
Bishops,
no Conservative Deans,
Archdeacons, Rectors, Prebendaries, Pluralists, Heads
of Colleges, Fellows, Chancellors, Vice-Chancel-
lors,are borne in mind,
it is
sc.,—when these things
impossible,
we say, for even the most scep-
tical Radical not to be struck with awe and ad-
miration of the utter absence of all selfish considera-
tions—the more than mortal magnanimity—that actu•
ate the Conservatives in their defence of Mother
Church. Who says that:this party combines the voracity
of a harpy with the digestion of a shark? Does any one
of them figure on the Pension List ? Hake not the elite
of their squad, the BATHURSTS) the OUNDASES,

the ARBUTHNOTS, the HERRIESES, and the EL-
LENBOROUGHS, been, from time immemorial, pro-
verbial for their dislike of the loaves and fishes ; and
can we, therefore, knowing these things, do otherwise
than give them credit for sincerity and disinterestedness,
when they come forward and tell us that they will
support the Church to the utmost of their ability—
merely, because it is the Church of the Poor
Impossible

'e have received several communications within
these few days, complaining of the sudden rise which
has taken place in the price of bread in the metropo-
lis. We likewise observe that this most important of
all subjects to the working classes has been forced upon
the at..ention of our Contemporaries. In a Nlorning
Paper of this day, we find the following paragraph :

" The price of bread continues to rise in the metropolis
at a rapid rate. The quartern or four-pound loaf (best
bread) is now sold for 100., whilst the inferior costs 81d.
The total rise on each sort, within the last three weeks,
amounts to 2d. on each four pounds of bread ; nav, the
bakers anticipate, and even foretell, a still further advance,
in a short time, in the price of this most necessary of all
the necessaries of life."

Whatever the bakers may do, we certainly cannot
account for so extraordinary a rise in the price of
bread at the very moment when there is a decrease in
the price of flour. Bread has risen in price, and the
bakers tell us that it will rise still higher, and yet last
week flour fell so much as ss. per sack. We cannot but
regret that subjects of this nature are allowed to call
for any commentary on the part of the public press.
There is nothing in which all classes are more interested
than the quality and price of bread ; and were the muni-
cipal and other authorities to discharge properly the
functions with which the State has entrusted them,
there would be no room for either remonstrance or com-
plaint. We cannot, however, accord them our thanks
for the way in which they superintend the sale of pro-
visions in the metropolis. The most flagrant abuses
are seldom punished ; and in some districts of the
metropolis the venders of food are left entirely to
themselves. This state of things calls for the consi-
deration of the Government. Flour and corn were
both heavy this day at market.

One of the many methods—and not the least effi-
cient one—adopted by the enemies of good order in
Ireland to excite the people to acts of violence is to
send among the Catholic population, under the hypo-
critical pretence of converting them to the true faith,
some hot-headed, purblind fanatic, who can see neither
truth .nor beauty in any system of religion but his
own, and who is so ignorant of the very first principles
of his office as to launch out into the most extravagant
denunciations against the gross absurdity and horrid sin-
fulness of the Catholic religion. Instead of calm dis-
cussion, dispassionate reasoning, and that gentle cha-
rity which breathes peace and good-will to all men of
all persuasions, which is so becoming in a minister of
the Gospel, and without which no man was ever yet
\Von from his errors, the self-conceited champion of
sectarianism and intolerance hurls the bolts of Divine
vengeance at the heads of all who do not instantly re-
nounce their religion and adopt the faith of the Church
established by Act of Parliament. If instead of, or
'along with, such a firebrand as this, the anti-national
faction can employ a renegade from the Catholic re-
ligion—some priest, for instance, who has been ex-
communicated for his depravity, or whose worldly in-
terest has been promoted by translation from the
Church of Rome to that of England, they hail such
an instrument of mischief as an invaluable acquisition,
and set him to work in that vocation in which he is
so well qualified to advance their cause. He is, as
a matter of course, obnoxious to the Catholics, who,
as religionists, are distinguished for their sincerity ; but
he is on that very account the fitter for the purposes
of his employers. Like all others who desert their
principles, he has conceived a mortal hatred against
those with whom he walked in former days, and the
expr'ssion of this hatred is the duty which he owes to
his uwn apostacy, as well as to those in whose service
he has enlisted. To let loose such emissaries of
Satan among the excitable people of Ireland is one
of the surest ways to create confusion and disorder,
particularly among the populace, who bear nothing so
ill, and resent nothing so much, as an insult to their
religion. Nor is this wonderful ; for what but their
religion have they left them in this world ? Accor-
dingly, we find that the services of the O'SuLLIvANs,
the CROTTYS, and the NOLANS, have been actively
called forth in the cause of Toryism and turbulence.
These are the nsen—if we must call those men who do
the work of demons—who blow the trumpet of reli-
gious strife, and rouse into activity all the worst pas-
sions of the human heart seting man against his bro-
ther man, that an unprincipled faction may triumph---
though that triumph be purchased by the disorganiza-
tion of society.

To oppose this diabolical purpose—to counteract it
in every possible way, is the duty of every good mem-
ber of society in his own sphere and station. We
have been much pleased to see the career of one of
these personages stopped by a most salutary exercise
of authority on the part of the 'Archbishop of
DUBLIN• NOLAN, the Catholic Priest, who was
lately metamorphosed into a Protestant Curate in the
diocese of Meath, played off about a month ago some
of his mischief-making antics in the diocese of Dublin,
reviling at a grand rate the Catholic religion, and was
about to repeat his offensive exhibition, when Dr.
WITATELY interposed his authority, and prohibited
his disgracing the pulpit within that diocese.
