LONDON:
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, IMO.

Last year, about this time, a great outrage v FBA
perpetrated in Birmingham. A body of men as-
sembled in the outskirts of the town, tore up the
iron-railings from around the church, broke open
several shops, set fire to some houses, threw the
furniture into the streets, marched in a tumultuous
manner about the town, and committed no incon-
siderable quantity of mischief. In the annals of
our police, and in the larger annals of our country,
that will be recorded as one gross outrage commit-
ted by a mob. No person speakirg of it would
describe every one of the proceedings of the
mob, from arming ;themselves, till they set
fire to the houses, as a separate and
substantive outrage. But because that is not done
in the police reports in Ireland, and when a mob of
Irish peasants may set fire to a house, shoot at a
man, knock furiously at a door, throw down a
stone dyke at one place, demand arms at another,
on one and the same evening—because the police
describe their proceedings as one outrage, mention-
ing the particulars of what they did, the Tory
journals assert that the police falsify the reports,
in order to represent Ireland as more tranquil than
it is. This is another of those mare's-nests which
the Tory journalists have of late so frequently
found. It is of a piece with that important dis-
covery which the Times patronises, and for which
its "Veteran" vouches, of a machine to blow up
navies and fortresses almost at the antipodes, and
render the whole art of war less worth than hand-
loom weaving. If the Times has given up the
hope of blowing up the fleet, it suoposas still that
it may blow up the Ministry, and a torpedo or a
police report will answer that purpose equally well,
if it can only be made to explode. That Jour-
nal has now, however, so frequently invented
fables, that it has come apparently to believe them,
and seems no longer able to distinguish truth from
fiction ; but the public do not practise its arts, and
escape its credulity. They laugh at its torpedos,
and are quite convinced that if the Ministers do not
sink themselves, they will never be blown up
either by its police or its-marine inventions. The
former is such a palpable attempt at imposition,

that till we saw it more than once repeatedly noticed

in the Ministerial Journals, we did not think it
worthy of a single remark.

When the Standard and The Sun agree, the
public may be morally certain that what they say
is strictly correct. Such an agreement is found in
the following paragraph :
