THE CHURCH-IRELAND.

Count de Salis, to whom thanks were voted at the Corn
Exchange meeting in Dublin, on Saturday, in his letter to
the Newry Examiner, writes.—
. In the name of common sense and justice, can anything
be conceived more oppressive than to force the Catholics
of Ireland—eight millions—to support a gorgeous clergy,
whose docrines they conscientiously disbelieve ?
Would England, would Scotland suffer the like insult
and injury for one week? Certainly not.
" Let England, with all my heart, support the church
of the people.
" Let Presbyterian Scotland maintain its kirk, ala
bonne heure.' But Ireland—let her support the clergy of
the people, and that clergy only I Until those evils—and
particularly the list-mentioned—are removed ; until justice
be the principle that Ireland is to be governed by—until
every man shall pay his own priest, as he pays his own
physician cr lawyer—lreland cannot be said to be in a
state of perfect tranquillity. It is, then, I think, the
bonnden duty of every friend to this country to put his hand
to the good work at once for the attainment of this most
desirable object."
The Mail raises a great outcry about this communica-
tion, protesting, with all the emphasis of its largest letters,
that it is a most damnable" Proposal for the Establishment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland I!"

THE JARVISES AND THEIR CHILD.--Since
the dismissal of Jarvis, who was charged on suspicion of
having been concerned with Gould in the murder of Mr. John
Templeman, of Pocock's-fields, Islington, he had possession
of his child, with whom he was living with some relatives at
No. 4, Chad's-place, Gray's Inn-road. On Saturday night,
however, on his return home from his work at Greenwich, he
discovered that his wife had been there, and by stratagem got
the child away. He immediately proceeded with some friends
to the residence of her mother, with whom she is living at
Kensall_green, for the purpose of getting back the child ; but
a violent resistance was made, and Jarvis was threatened by
his wife that she would have his life if he ever dared to show
himself there again, and he was necessitated to return home
without his infant. Gould, we understand, is still in custody
on the charge of having stolen a watch belonging to one of his
comrades, at Canterbury, when he deserted from his regiment.
It is said that Gould's parents are in South Australia. The
officers arc still pursuing active inquiries relative to the rob-
bery and barbarous murder of Mr. Templemaa.

The Texas Sentinel of the 25th Janary -
tains the copy of a treaty of perpetual peace and
amuity entered
into between France and Texas, of date the 25th day of Sep-
tember, 1839, establishing the formal recognition of Texas on
the part of France, and giving to the French and Texians, in
the entire extent of their respective territories, the same rights,
privileges, and exemptions which are or may be granted to the
most favoured nation. By article 16 it is provided that the
cottons of Texas, without distinction of quality, will pay on
their entry into the ports of France, when they shall be im-
ported directly in French or Texian vessels, a uniform duty of
20jranes on 100 kilogrammes. All reduction of duties which
may hereafter be made in favour of the cottons of the United
States shall be equally applied to those of Texas—gratuitously,
should the concession be gratuitous; or with the same.icompen-
sation, if the concession is conditional. The Termn s have
made various efforts to obtain their recognition from

-taro, Gvcst which, although claimed on the pr neiplp, t.13;.,C '6l9'
