TO POROUGII AND CITY ELECTORS.
The next. General 'Election (should there be one
16 months) virtually commenced on Sunday, that
beimg the day on which the Overseers published the
list of voters for the exikiive year.
Every Reformer, should, therefore, attend to the fol-
iowing instructions :-Ist. He should see that the Over-
seers publish their lists on all the Churches and
Chapel doors to-morrow, their wilfully neglecting to
do so rendering them liable to a penalty of 5001. 2dly.
He should examine eliose lists to-morrow,. at the
residence of an Overseer any day before the
15th of August, which any person may do without the
payment of any fee. He should see that his name, qua-
lification, and place are correctly described, and having
ascertained if the names of any persons, who he believes
to be entitled to be on such list, have been omitted, he
should induce them to claim to be registered on or before
the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act
prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz.
A. CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED.

STATE AND PROSPECTS OF THE

LIBERAL CAUSE.

It is, of course, impossible for any one whose sympa-
thies are all with the Whig party, to avoid feeling the
deepest mortification at the verdict against them that the
Constituencies have just pronounced. To the present
feelings of a moderate Reformer, those of an ancient Jew
when told " The ark is taken !" are only the conceivable
parallel. The Government, with whose stability the as-
cendancy of Liberal principles was identified—a Govern-
ment that is, indeed, the personification of temperate li-
berality--now exists only until its succesaors are ap-
pointed, its days meanwhile beingnumbered, and it 3 sub-
stantive autho.iity already gone. The Ministers' elect
are the heads of a party composed of hereditary, and
seemingly instinctive defenders of abuses, to whose
spontaneous act no.ameliorative measure can be ascribed.
Whatever may be unprecedented in this state of parties,
it is certainly not their relative position as Tory majority
and Whig minority. how little is there of new or
strange in this aspect of the political world !* It seems
but yesterday since the Whigs were in minorities the
most miserable and hopeless. Excluded,, seemingly, in
perpetuity, from office, opposed to the Court, and to large
majorities of the Aristocracy, the populace, and even of
the stolid respectability of the country ; thus it was,
that those Whigs on whose disinterestedness imputationa,
are so freely made, spent, in general, their youth, nay,
the middle of life. Thus it was, that they find advo-
cated measures on which their original opponents now
take their stand, and defend as monuments of political
wisdom. The Whigs, therefore, need be nothing'
daunted, nay, frorithe result of their former
,exertious,

post in opposition. They may excusably hope that, as
the measures they once supported against such-over-
whelming odds are now practically approved in being
universally maintained, so may at length be flume for
the sake of which they are again in what is, in truth,
their accustomed station, in the minority, that is, in ad-
vance of the mass of men.

Now that the Reform Bill has thus yielded a Conser-
vative majority, it is impossible to avoid addressing to
the Conservative party the inquiry. Is this the result
that you expected from the Bill ? The failure of the
Tory predictions as to the effect of that measure, began
with their utterance, and has been unintermitted. The
diatribes in which it was opposed are unparalleled re-
cords of political miscalculation. Nor can this reproach
be fairly retorted, at least not on the Bill's mosterational
supporters. The existence of Conservatism in consider-
able strength under the Bill, was foreseen by them, nay
was an essential element in the considerations that led
them to hazard so great a change as the Bill involved.
The occurrence indeed of such transference of power as
is now impending, could not seem very improbable
or remote, even when the fortunes of Conserva-
tism had sunk to the lowest ebb. To reflecting
observers of the progress of events this occasion presents
little that is unaccountable, or that was not long ago
more or less anticipated. The change is not in public
sentiment, but in the measures that are the test of party
distinctions,—and respecting which the nation, in ele-
vating one party and depressing another, gives judgment.
It is easy, nickel. to contrast the Whig majority of ten
years ago with the Conservative majority of the present
day, and thence to infer a re-action against Reform.
But are the questions respecting which a Whig majo-
rity once existed, the same us those that the country now
decides against the Whigs? By no means. On Parlia-
mentary and Corporation Reform, on the Emancipation
of the Slaves, and the Opening of the China Trade,
there was a large majority. Is that majority reversed
On the contrary, it has become a unanimity of practical
approbation. All the great questions respecting which
the Whigs ever had a majority are affirmatively settled.
Questions respecting which there never was a Whig ma-
jority, or so large a majority as is now arrayed in their
support, have become the first in practical urgency. Thus
only it is, that there is presented to superficial observers
a fallacious appearance of re-action against the cause of
liberality; when, in reality, that cause is steadily advan-
cing, every advance it has made being quietly maintained,
and new advances being auspiciously attempted, though
necessarily without immediate success.
Is it then to be regretted that the Whig leaders have
occupied ground on a hich they are not nationally sup-
ported, by making an approach, at least, to free trade—
the chief of the present distinguishing principles of their
party ? Far from it. Even with respect to party inte-
rests, the promulgation of the Budget was a wise and sa-
lutary step,
Can the cause that is identified with commercial free-
dom be desperate;? On the contrary, though, even be-'
cause of this association, it may now be checked, yet is
its safety and ultimate triumph assured. Little appre-
hension can he have of the doctrine of .free trade, in
:anits itin.th.. and
lengthrecommend itself to universal belief and practice.
Men cannot be much longer deluded by the ridiculous
fallacies that ccitibine -with rapacity in retaining the ex-
isting fetters of inciti§try, Those liberal commercial prin-
ciples, in defence of which the present Government are
about to fall, are resolvable into axioms, the truth and jus-

but not from
do-
mestic or foreign, it may come. Whoever wishes ;To-
teetion from competition wishes not fair play, but more
—that is, unfair favour. Protection, the watchword of
monopolists, in the sense of protection from com-
petition, is a barbarism that should be abolished,
not only in law, but even in language and in idea. A
better cause cannot be conceived or wished, than that of
unmixed and resolute hostility to this abuse of protec-
tion. It is the cause of the nation against special inter-
ests—of self-evident right against the most flagrant
wrong—of sense against nonsense. To suppose that the
monstrous system of protection from competition will not
give way before further discussion, deliberation, and ex-
perience, would be a satire on the nation and age, and
little less than an imputation on Providence. The
balance of trade was hardly a grosser absurdity, and not
nearly so mischievous as this protection.. If there is not
an extraordinary interruption in the march of intelli-
gence, the day cannot be distant when this preposterous
folly will be consigned to the limbo of exploded fallacies
—the more abhorred and despised from the extent to
which it had injured the interests, and imposed on the
understandings of men. Those who resume political as-
cendancy as defenders of this erroneous and pernicious
system, occupy ground that is constantly being swept
away. A loss of power through an attack on this scandal
of the national policy, must be temporary, if there is any
reliance to be placed on the progressive enlightenment of
the public mind.
Reformers will become more discriminating—abandon-
ing some proposals that have been hastily adopted, but
which would, in truth, not advance civilization, but cause
it to retrograde. Their views will be developed and
rationalized.. They will learn to supply the serious de-
ficiencies in the approaches to justice, which alone they
have yet ventured. Civil and religious freedom have yet
to be vindicated as much as commercial. National self-
government must be more distinctly established. The
very name of Protestant ascendancy, either political or
ecclesiastical, must cease to bo heard in connexion with
Ireland.—Scotsman.

IRELAND.
KING'S COUNTY.—DUBLIN, AUG. 5.
CUARGE OF SHOOTING AT 3IR. DIDDULPII.
TULLAMORE, TUESDAY.—"This day having been fixed
for the trial of Michael Colgan and Michael Doherty,
for shooting at Francis Marsh Biddulph, Esq., with in-
tent to murder him, -the Court was crowded from an
early hour. by the country people, who seemed to take a
deep interest in the result.
It will be'remembered that this case was tried before
at thr, last Assizes, whem the 'Jury were dh3clltirgeti .:
ant coming to a verdict, and public attention was drawn
to it in more than an ordinary degree from it being made
the subject of debate-iwthe Hottse of Lords, where Lord
Charleville impugned the construction of the Jury who
tried it, and cast imputations on the Government for
having abandoned the old custom of challenge. All these
circumstances tended to increase the interest excited by
the case altogether, and particularly as regards the re.
suit of the trial.
When the prisoners were arraigned, the grand panel
was called over, and 154 appearances having been en-
tered by the Clerk of the Crown, several Jurors were
challenged on behalf of the prisoners.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case.
Mr. Biddulph was then examined—He said he resided
at Itathrobin, in the King's County. Recollected the
morning of the 25th of Sptember. Proceeded on that
day to land, which he had got recently through a civil
bill decree. He went outor the gate, and he met a man
named Middleton. He proceeded along the road with
me towards Mountbolus for about two hundred yards.
When we came to a particular part of the hedge, which
was lower than the rest, he called after me, and said he
had another word to say to me ' • and, upon turning
round with my face towards the ditch, a gun was fired at
me. There were two marks with swan drops, but I was
not cut. One entered, and another tore my skin. My
mare then ran back towards Michael Guy's house, and
I told a woman, named Guy, that I was shot, and I
then gallopped instantly back towards the place where
the shot was fired. When I went as far as Denis Con-
way's house I met a woman, named Honor Lynch ; she
pointed to where a man was running in the field, and I
rode into Conway's lawn, where there was a staked gap,
and the people not having opened it for me, I forced my
mare out over a stone wall at the end of the house, and,
on getting into the field, I saw a man running in a stub-
ble-field. I followed him, and overtook him where he
was with others at a harrow.

C,'3LTRT—Did you know him ?
Witness, in continuation—l did know him. I went
from that to the meadow of Ballyellen, and then went
home. In about three weeks after, I, in consequence of
information received, found a gun in Clane plantation ;
the lock of the gun was down, and the hammer half up.
It had the appearance of having been recently discharged.
It had no ramrod. I know Doherty. He had been in
my employment, out of which I turned him about two
months before this transaction.
Honor Lynch was the next witness examined—l was
at home between nine and ten o'clock ; heard a shot
fired ; I saw the shot fired out of the plantation ; Mr.
Biddulph and `John Middleton were on the road at the
time ; they were beside each other ; his horse gallopped
back towards RathrObin when the shot was fired ; I fol-
lowed Mr. 8., when I saw a man cross the road with a
gun ; he wore whiteish trousers, a blue coat, and black
hat ; he went towards Lugg,amarlaw ; he crossed the
road near Denis Conway's ; I found a piece of black stuff '
near the spot where the shot was fired:
Honor Fury identified the prisoners as the persons
who fired the shot ; but, on her cross-examination, she
broke down, for she admitted having sworn before a
Magistrate that
_She ielieved. Doherty. was not one of
the men.
Two witnesses swore that they met Colgan near the
place at which air. Biddulph was assailed on the morning
of the occurrence ; and a Magistrate deposed-that Colgan
denied having ben at the place at all.
Jane Biddulph examined—Saw a man leap over the
demesne wall in a few minutes after the shot was fired.
Was not able to see :his features. He wore a frieze coat
and trousers. Did not know who the man was.
Mary Biddulph examined—Deposed that she heard
the shot fired, and having run out, she saw a man run
through the lawn towards the plantation, with a long
gun in his hand. He wore a grey frieze body coat, light-
coloured stnallclothes' and blue stockings, but she did
nonknow him. She followed him across the lawn, but
he turn,.-1
round and pointed the gun at her. I saw Paddy
caw on th,...• road afterwards.
By Mr, mean, did not mention the name of Col-
gan at the imst trial,
Caroline Biddlatlph examined—Saw a man on the lawn
with a gun in his hand. Thinks it was Doherty, but
would not positively swear to him.
By Mr. Goamax—r apew Doherty before, as he was
in my brother's employme:it.
Elisabeth Biddulph was nett examined, and identified
the prisoner Doherty as the person that was seen run-
ning across the lawn with the ge,a in his hand. Saw .him
leap the ditch. Was just beside and thought he had
whiskers, but it was a black stocking that was up about
his face. Knew him when she saw hin; the next morn-
ing. Knew thatit was false whiskers he h.la•
Mr. GORMAN—Oh ! Miss Biddulph, who,: did you
to
come to know it was false whiskers tho man
knew it at the last trial.
Did you mention a word about them being false tvht
kers ?—I mentioned it to my sister.
Did you mention it to the Magistrate before, when you
swore the informations 7—No.
Did you swear on the last trial that the man who
leaped over the ditch had large black whiskers, or that
you thought he had, till Mary Anne Hennessy told you
it was a black stocking ?—I did not.
Mr. GORMAN—I will disprove you, from the report
taken for the Crown. .

The Court rose at a quarter to nine o'clock.
The case was proceeded with again yesterday ; and as
the first witness for the defence was about ascending the
Able, one of the Jurors was taken suddenly ill, and the
"urther hearing of the case was adjourned to this morn-
mg. If the Juror be not recovered, and able to discharge
the duty, the probability is 'that the trial will be ad-
journed for a fortnight, or the prisoners admitted to bail
to stand their trial next assizes.
