BLASPHEMING SOCIALISTS."-

"The History of the World informs us, that opinions are
sealed in the mind, and the mind is not susceptible of change
from that coarse instrument of Government-force. They yield
to lenity, to reason, to experience."—Page 275, Watson,
Bishop of Landaff.
" Blaspheming Socialists !" " The rise and spread of this
sect afford a striking illustration of the pernicious effects at-
tending the introduction of false principles into philo-
sophy. The remedy, however, is at hand ; false knowledge
must be counteracted by real knowledge; the people must be
instructed instead of being perverted ; philosophy must be made
to undo the work of sophistry. And for this Government is
responsible."—Sunday Times, April 5, 1840.

" In my mind the highest of all poetry is ethical poetry, as
the highest of all earthly objects must be moral truth. What
made Socrates the greatest of men? His moral truth—his
ethics. What snored Jesus Christ the Son of God hardly less
than his miracles? His moral precepts. And if ethics have
made a philosopher the first of men, an] have not been dis-
dained as an adjunct to his gospel by the Deity himself, are we
to be told that ethical poetry, or didactic poetry, or by whatever
name you may term it, whose object is to make men better and
wiser,_ is not the very first order of poetry; and are we to be
told this too by one of priesthood ? ."--Extracts.

" There can be no doubt in the estimation of these gentle-
men Socialists ! ''that theocracy, or any government which
takes. for its basis the laws and precepts of the Bible, does not,
appear to be the best of all possible Governments. But if these
objectors' were to read the Bible in order too
know
the truth,
they would find that when, in the_. phrase of Scripture, the
Lord was with the Judge, and they lived according to the pre-
cepts of morality contained in the Divine code, the providence
of God was with them; and thus .hey were delivered out of the
_
hands of their enemies all the days of the Judge. But these
deliverings were but temporary relief, for the people became
anarchists.' Truly sir but it should be remembered that
God,
when this was the case ;hey had forsaken
theer worship of God
and had become, like these write's,
pp
phantom, which they called Nature; every sof an imaginary
phantom, doing! hat
which was right in his own eyes.
" Those who explain this holy b;ok, not only assert, but
prove, that the Bible is an unerring rule of faith and manners."
When they look at the visible creation, they are constrained
•to believe that it could not create itself; and therefore they
admire those expressions " in this holy book," which assert the
eternal Power and Godhead of the Creator. The heavens de-
clare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy
work ; and thus they believe that the Bible is an unerring rule
of faith, that it declares the existence of God the Creator. In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ; and that
Nature," the god of these calumniators of the record of
I.truth; is but the servant of God : I will affect the heavens,
and the heavens shall affect the earth, and the earth shall affect
the corn and wine, and the corn and wine shall affect Israel,

TIVERTON, APRIL 21.—The fire at Mr.
Gerinota's, Wharnicombe, appears to have been most destruc-
tive. Mr. Germon and his wife were attending Church when
they were apprised of the fire. On arriving at their farm they
found the dwelling-house, outhouses, linhay, snit stables, one
mass of ruins. Three fine horses, several calves, the whole of
their implements in husbandry, carts, and harness, are all com-
pletely destroyed; scarcely a vestige of furniture, and not spar-
ticle.of their clothes, was saved. Such was the intensity of
the heat in the inclosed court, that nearly thirty couple of
decka were completely scorched and hurnt. It is conjectured
to be the work of an incendiary, and has caused great excite-
ment, particularly among the agriculturists.
MASKS.—Ladies originally wore masks as the
sole substitute known to our ancestors for the modern parasol ;
a fact, perhaps, now first noticed.

on Wednesday, 400. On Saturday 599 persons paid for admis-

NEW ZEALAND.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Mr. Young, at the Guildhall meeting, stated
that we had the right of discovery; but first, the
natives were long anterior to us, and, by equity, dis-
covery can only apply
.to
.an unpeopled country.
It, however,. for. their own ends, they bold the re-
vcrse; who blame Government, then in 1642 New
Zealand was diseOvered by the,r,h3tchmatt, Tasman,
in 1769 only, or 127 years thereafter, by Cook.

(From " Twenty Years' Experience in Australis.r)
In New Zealand I have been unable to discover any
advantage over New South Wales. It is precisely in
the same latitude, and of course has a similar, though
somewhat moister climate, while the inhabitants are
fi nrce, treacherous, -and numerous. The folloviing is
from the evidence before the Commission in New South
Wales :

" Mr. Thomas Sllepherd examined—l was for two
years Principal Superintendent for the New Zealand
Company, Seventy-two persons embarked on board
the Lambton and Rosanna, for settlement in that
island, the greater part of whom were engaged by me
is Scotland. Not finding the concern come up to the
view of the Directors, we, agreeably to instructions,
came to New South Wales, where the men were dis-
aractl.

" New Zealand may be- considered on the whole a
mountainous country, some part of it rising to a con-
siderable elevation, • particularly on Tavai Poenammoo,
where the mountains are very lofty, and, as viewed
from the sea, constitute an extremely bold feature in the
lanscape. This was particularly observable from the
ship while near White Islanda curious volcano on that
coast. At the Bay of Islands the Surface is more com-
monly undulating, though approaching occasionally to
the alpine. There did not appear to be any forests of
consequence near the bay, but much of the land is
concealed by brushwood or fern, while the gullies, or
ravines, are• filled with a variety of trees, that
form an almost impenetrable wilderness. Nor is
there any level land on its shores—not even a few acres,
except in one or two places, where a small patch of
very trifling extent may be discerned."
From a gentleman who has just returned from New
Zealand, after a residence of some months, the author
has had the following information :
" The land is rich, but thickly covered with wood
and brush to the tops of the hills, which it will be diffi-
cult and costly to clear. It never can be to any ex-
tent a sheep country. It rains three months out of the
four in winter. It might in time, if it was bone fide
a British colony, subject to her authority, and protected
by the administration of her laws, derive considerable
advantage from growing wheat for the markets of New
South Wales : but much' has' to be done, and years
must pass, before this can be effected to any extent."
One great objection to settling, is the superstition of
she natives. Mr. Pollock relates, that an accidental
firing of the grass, by one tribe, burned a tabooed, or
sacred place of another ; the consequence was a bloody
war, and while the chief admitted it was unreasonable
to commit 'tile wholesile murders they did, on account
of an accident, he was compelled by their law, he said,
to extirpate those who had been the cause, and pointing
to the bodies of seventeen men, murdered the night
before, be said, " This is the first instalment."'

" Of the character of the European population, now
permanently settled in New Zealand," says Dr. Lang,
"it is scarcely- necessary to inform your Lordship.
With a few honourable exceptions, it consists of the
veriest refuse of civilized society,—of runaway sa,lors, of
runaway convicts, of convicts who have served out their
term of bondage in one or other of the two penal colo-
nies, of fraudulent debtors who have escaped from their
creditors in Sydney or Hobart Town, and of needy ad-
venturers from the two colonies, almost equally un-
principled. in conjunction with the whalers that occa-
sionally visit the coast, the influence of these indivi-
duals on the natives is demoralizing in the extreme.
Their usual articles of barter are either muskets and
gunpowder, or tobacco and ruin. Most of thorn live in
open concubinage or adultery with native women, and
the scenes of outrageous licentiousness, and debauchery;
that arc ever and anon occurring on their premises,. are
often sufficiently revolting to excite the reprobation and
disgust of the natives themsel'ves."

Mr. P--, the author of a recent publication on
New Zealand, endeavoured, some time ago, to set, up
an additional grog-shop in the village of Kororadika ;
but the publicans, who bad already, obtained a mono-
poly of the business, conceiving he would injure their
trade, actually threatened to hang him up upon the
spot, and had even made preparations for the erection
of the gibbet, when Mr. P. deemed it prudent to aban-
don his project. In short, Lynch law is at present
the only law among the numerous Europezns in New
Zealand ; there being no authority to appeal to in the
island, and no redress procurable for the most atrocious
injuries, but by an appeal to physical force. A few
weeks before the period of my visit to the island, a
European had been tarred and feathered by some of
his countrymen for some misdemeanour, either real or
Imaginary ; and another had been tied up to a tree and
flogged, and afterwards compelled to sign a note ac-
knowleding that he had not only received the flogging,
but that he richly deserved it. The note was demanded,
under the idea that it would. secure the flagcllators
against all legal consequences."—Da. LANG.

PROGRESS OF DEPOPULATION.

From the Dublin Evening Post.)

LORD bERESFORD AND LORD f,UCAN.

Lord Stanley's Bill was scarcely required for the
aid of the depopulating landlords. The work of expul-
sion proceed's with unabated vigour in the county of
Carlow. The following is, extracted from the last
number of the Leinstep Independent, front which it
would appear that the lands in question have passed into
the possession of Lord Beresford :
" The unfortunate people of Kilcloney, county of
Carlow, consisting of seventeen families, were, tjected
on Tuesday last. It is impossible to describe the
misery and desolation that have taken place there
within the last few days. Some of them gave up pos-
session, and threw down their houses, for which they
received from thirty shillings to three pounds each.
Others kept possession until they were put out by the
sheriff, and these are to be stigmatised as conspirators
against the rights of property, and will be marked as
such. The tenant who has got his holding was a free-
holder, who always voted for the Tories.
The following is a list of the families, and the number
in each, that were ejected out of Kilcloney on the 7th
instant :

John Kavanagh, wife, and seven children (total 9) ;
Thomas Keegan, wife, and three children (5); Michael
Ryan, wife, and five children (7) ; Patrick Doyle, wife,
and six children (8) ; Abraham Carey (1) • Michael
Carey (1) ; James Dwyer, wife, and five children (7) ;
Widow Doyle, three children, and three grandchildren
(7) ; John Kealy, wife and child (3); Peter Doyle,
wife, and three children (5) • John Doyle, wife, and
three children (5); Michael Whelan, wife, and three
children (5) ; John Kealy, brother, wife, and two chil-
dren (5); Edward Kealy aged 9'2, wife aged 84, two
sons, and daughter-in-law (5) ; Widow Kealy and five
children (6) ; Edward M'Donald, brother, sister, and
aunt, aged 86 (4); Laurence Comerford and two sons
(3). Total, 86.
After the action brought by Lord Beresford against
the Morning Chronicle, it might not be safe, even it it
were necessary, to express our opinions upon the pro-
ceedings here recorded. But we shall, by way of con-
trast, place before the reader an account of the conduct
of another Tory Nobleman, in the West of Ireland --we
mean' the Earl of Lucan—as we find it described in the
following extracarom the .Mayo Mercury:—
" We are happy to be enabled to state, that in some
recent instances which have come to our knowledge, the
Earl of Luean has' displayed a kindness of disposition
towards a portion of his tenantry in the western part of
this county, which is highly creditable to his Lordship.
Upon the fall of a lease by which a considerable tract
of land came into his Lordship's possession, he empha.
tically declared his intention of not disturbing the
tenants in possession—that they should always have a
preference of the land—and that it was his determina-
tion to adhere to this rule, so long as the tenant was
honest and industrious. We cannot too highly com-
mend this determination, so different from that which
is acted on in other parts of the country ; and when we
add to this fact that his Lordship has stopped the illegal
collection of tolls and customs on potatoes sold in the
markets of the town, we trust they give omen of good
promise, and that we shall have frequent occasions to
speak in terms of approbation of his Lordship in his
various capacities of landlord, Magistrate, and guardian
of the poor.

THE LATE MR. WOOD'S WILL.—The cost
of conducting the proceedings before the Privy Council is
enormous. Our liberal Gloucester Town Council voted away
1,0001. from the borough fund for this purpose last week ! The
two leading counsel engaged on the part of the Corporation
each require, we are told, fees of 300/., besides'additional fees
-of 201. each on every occasion when they are called to act in
the matter in Com t. This is a pleasant prospect for the rate-
payers! Gloucester Taper.
ASSASSINATION AT: TOULON.--JLISt RS the
