FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR—The following is to be found
among the Papers of Sir JAMES WARE :
" QUEEN Malty having dealt severely with the Protes-
tants in England, about the latter end of her reign, signed a
to take the same course with them in Ireland ; and
to execute 1,1,0 game with greater force, she nominates Dr. Cole
one of the Conann.,ioners. This Doctor coming with the com-
ing that iourney, the Mayor of that city, hear_
mis sn thoeCr li r isatieer s,tyo ,w h;
a s
-.ing a messenger into Ireland,
the Doctor, who in a dis-
and he being a churchman, waitect,
course with the Mayor, taketh out of
saying unto him, " Here is a commissioi.
loke-bag a leather box,
that shall lash the
heretics of Ireland," (calling the Protestants by
t title.) The
`1
good woman of the house, being well affected to the r-
"
,testant
religion, and also having a brother named John Ednionw,
the same, then a citizen its Dublin, was much troubled' at
the Doctor's words; but watching her convenient time,
while the Mayor took his leave, and the Doctor compliment-
ed him down the stairs, she opens the box, takes the commission
out, and places, in lieu thereof, a sheet of paper, with a pack
of cards wrapped up therein, the knave of clubs being faced up-
permost. The Doctor coming up to his chamber, suspecting
nothing of what had been done, put up the box as formerly. The
next day, going to the water side, wind and weather serving
him, he sailed toward Ireland, and landed, Oct. 7, 1558,at Dub-
lin. Then coming to the Castle, the Lord Fitzwalters, being
Lord Deputy, sent for him to come before him and the privy-
,council ; who coming in, after he had made a speech relating upon
what account he came over, he presents the box unto the Lord
Deputy, who causing it to he opened, that the secretary might
read the commission, there was nothing save a pack of cards
with the Knave of Clubs uppermost, which not only startled the
Lord-deputy. and Council, but the Doctor, who assured them he
had a commission, but knew not how it was gone; then the
Lord Deputy made answer, " Let us have another commis-
sion, and we will shuffle the cards in the mean while." The
Doctor being troubled in his mind, went away, and returned
into England, and, coming to the Court, obtained another
commission; but staying for a wind on the water-side, news
came to him that the Queen was dead ; and thus God pre-
served the Protestants of Ireland."
Queen ELIZBETH was so delighted with this
story, which was told her by Lord FITZ-WAL-
TER on his return to England, that she gave
ELIZABETH EDMONDS, whose husband's name
was MALTERSHAD, a pension of forty pounds
(luring her lifetime.

(See Cox, Hibernia Anglicana, Vol. 11. p. 308. Harleian
Vol. V. p. 568.)
Now, Mr. Editor, if ELIZABETH EDMONDS re-
ceived so great a pension for so paltry a service,
will you be so good as to ask the Dublin Even-
ing Herald, what should be the reward of DA-
NIEL O'CONNEL, Esq. for his timely, judicious,
and salutary Letter to his Roman Catholic
Countrymen, lately published in Ireland ?
Your's, &c.
