MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1841.

Sir ROBERT PEEL appears to have been keep-
ing bad company of late, and to have acquired
some bad habits. We pointed out on Saturday
his jesuitical and contradictory arguments got up
to serve a temporary factious purpose, and now
we must advert to what we can only characterise
as a contemptible sneer. We suspect Sir ROBERT
has taken to studying the Standard since the
Times, by the help of its correspondent " CATHO-
LICUS," has cut him up and cast him out for food
to the bigots. At least his last oration has many
vc the peculiar attributes of the Standard, and,
therefore, inconsistent, false, factious, and jesuiti-
cal as it was, it met with the cordial approbation
of that journal. Here are two or three passages
of Sir ROBERT'S speech :--

If the present measure was a just one—if it
of Ireand, then he trusted that, notwithstanding the state-
ments of that Hon. and Learned Gentleman, the House would
show its determination to do justice to Ireland. Let those who
had public duties to perform claim to themselves the privilege
of dispassionately considering whether the measure then under
their consideration was a measure perfectly consistent with the
best interests of Ireland, and whether it was calculated to ad-
vance the independence of the electors, and promote the social
welfare of the country.—(Hear, hear.;
Those who heard Sir ROBERT PEEL, and saw
him, knew that these passages were meant to
taunt the Members with making concessions to
Mr. O'CONNELL. He told them to consider the
whole question, not to make partial distinctions
and concessions, but go the whole hog at once,
and do justice to Ireland. These taunts were
uttered by a man nominally at the head of a
party which is powerful enough to impede the
smallest advance towards doing justice to
Ireland, which resolutely resists every at-
tempt of the kind, and renders it
vain. They were uttered by a man, too, who
has been all his life a rule-o'-thumb politician,
never looking beyond the hour, with no com-
prehension for futurity', and who, without the
'least regard to justice, gave up to a threat and a
• corrupt bargain, in 18:29, just as much at the mo-
ment as satisfied the demands then made by the
Roman Catholics. This is the man, with the
will and the power to thwart all attempts to do
justice to Ireland, who taunted Ministers with

from the Tories. We should like very much if
it were possible to act on the language of Sir
ROBERT PEEL, and if statesmen, instead of con-
sidering what bargains they can drive with rival
or allied statesmen, would think only of what
is due to the peoFle. Of that they never do
thi.lk, though Sir ROBERT PEEL, knowing its
present impracticability, would have had Minis-
ters stop all the demands of Mr. O'CoNNELL by
at once doing justice to his countrymen. Like a
big boy, who has taken possession of the play-
things of a little one, and sneeringly asks,
while he threatens him with his fist, why
he does not take them back, and what
what has become of his courage, Sir R. PEEL,
who, as a politician, has taken possession of the
political rights of the Irish, and is resolved to
withhold them, taunts the Ministers with not
daring to give, and the Irish Catholics with not
having the courage to take, their own.
Sir R. PEEL had referred just before, however,
to Mr. O'CONNELL'S expressed wish to have the
whole revenues of the Church in Ireland devoted
to the public service, as one of the things
which it was monstrous in Mr. O'CONNELL
to ask. But why ? Surely it is a great injustice
to apply the whole revenues of the Church, how-
ever small, to the spiritual instruction of about
one-tenth of the people. In no other country of
Europe is any such contrivance tolerated. In no
other would it be borne. It could only be
maintained in a country which is enslaved. It is
a badge of hateful inferiority. The law, which
ought to be equal, treats the Catholics as pos-
sessing an inferior religion, and an unworthy
faith which must be stifled, not protected by the
law. The existence of the Established Church
is an insult and an injury to the Catholics of
Ireland.

The English, we are quite sure, would not
bear for a single day that the whole revenue de-
voted to spiritual instruction should be given to
the Baptists, or the English Catholics, or any
other small sect. Why then should the Irish be
required to submit to such a wrong? Why
should Mr. O'CONNELL not ask to have the Esta-
blished Church in Ireland put down ? If he
were to ask to have the Roman Catholic Church
established, and made the State Church, we can
readily conceive that such a demand would be
an injustice to all who are not Catholics, and
ought to be resisted; and, on precisely the same
ground as that ought to be resisted, the present
Established Church ought to be put an end to.
Till it be put down, justice will not be done to
the Catholics of Ireland, and they will have a
right to complain. We hope, for our parts, that
they never will cease their agitation till the
Church of Ireland is placed on a precisely similar
footing with the Catholic Church and the Inde-
pendent Chapel, and till it relies exclusively for
support on the voluntary contributions of its
members.

That would be justice to Ireland. At the same
time Sir ROBERT PEEL knows very well that in
the present state of public opinion, it would be
next to impossible for any Minister to accom-
plish that object. The English priesthood would
shake the State to its foundations to preserve
their flesh-pots. He knows that the Catholics
demand, and justice requires, the abolition of the
Irish Church ; but, conscious of the power he
possesses, founded on the prejudices and bigotry
of the people, he taunts the Ministers with not
proposing, agreeably to the wishes of Mr.
O'CoNNELL, to abolish the Established Church
in Ireland. For a grave statesman like Sir R.
PEEL to use such language in an important de-
bate, seems to us quite unworthy. It was, as
we have already said, a contemptible sneer,
worthy of the Standard ; and so we leave it to
the meditation of our readers.

We were obliged last year to dwell on Mr.
AINSWORTH'S defection, and we regret, after the
llon. Member's promises of amendment, that
we should this year be compelled to renew our
animadversions. Though returned for Bolton on
the Liberal interest, Mr. AINSWORTH voted on
Lord MORPETH'S motion for the Tories. We
cannot comprehend such conduct. Mr. AINS-
WORTH pretends to be friendly to the repeal of
the Corn-laws. He has put his name to the reso-
lution agreed to by the Liberal Members for the
revision of the tariff and the reduction of duties;
we must consider him, therefore, as a supporter
of free trade, and an opponent of the bread-
taxers. Yet he voted with them on Friday morn-
ing. This is monstrously inconsistent. To vote
with Lord STANLEY iS to vote for upholding the
power of that class of men whose scan-
dalous avarice, operating by means of a law,
is ruining the trade of Bolton, and actually impo-
verishing and starying Mr. AINSWORTH'S consti-
tuents. He vt,tedArvith. the landlords, and voted
that they may continue to oppress Ireland. If
the electors of Bolton do not call the Hon Mem-
ber to account, and compel him, if they can, to
give up that charge of which lie is unworthy,
they will sanction his conduct, and make them-
selves responsible for it. But we know the men
of Bolton too well to believe that they will in
any manner countenance and encourage the
bread taxers and franchise destroyers. We con-
fidently expect, therefore, to see a requisition
from the electors, numerously signed, calling on
Mr. AINSWORTH to return into his proper and
native obscurity. They will not suffer their in-
terests to be misrepresented by him for the pur-
pose of enabling him to make his peace with the
Lancashire Tones, and be received in their en-
vied society.

Belgian and German Papers, of the latest
dates, have been received. Letters from the
Banks of the Danube, of the 6th ult., state
that no interruption of public tranquillity at
Cracow is to be feared in consequence of any
measure which Austria may take with respect to
the withdrawal of the garrison. But whatever
changes Austria may contemplate in the govern-
ment of this unfortunate skeleton of a Republic,
nothing will be done till the ferment raised by
the Eastern question has entirely subsided.
The Deputies elected to form the Provincial
Assembly of the Duchy of Posen are staunch ad-
vocates of the independent nationality of Poland.
This circumstance has created some uneasiness at
Berlin.

A letter from Copenhagen, of the 11th of Oc-
tober, states that the marriage of the Crown
Prince of DENMARK is fixed for the 22d of May.
The following extract from a Dutch Paper is
chiefly interesting to Stock Exchange readers:—
AMSTERDAM, FEB. 23.—We are happy to be able to con-
tradict, on good authority, the reports that the extraordinary
credits voted by the States General would be speedily realised,
is wholly destitute of foundation.
No issue of new Five per Cents. will be made in the next
four months, nor of any other stock whatever, and even after
that itime has elapsed, it is probable that a very moderate use
will be made of the credit granted, and that it will be done
with all the caution that so important an operation requires.
These facts will prove better than all worth that the Minister
of Finance, though competent to ask for votes of credit, in
order to make good the existing deficiency, is by no means
among the advocates for increasing the national debt. His
Excellency is, on the contrary, desirous, by a well-regulated
sinking fund, to reduce the debt (which has been swelled to
such an extent) within moderate limits.

In the French Chamber of Deputies on Thurs-
day the anxiously expected debate on the Secret

carried by a large majority, TRIERS sinks with
scarce a hope of ever rising again. As the Bill
is founded upon a Report which unsparingly de-
nounces his whole policy as domestically and in-
ternationally ruinous and humiliating to France,
its adoption will be tantamount to a verdict of
guilty against the TRIERS Administration, or, as
the French themselves call it, the Cabinet of the
Ist of March. TRIERS himself is said to be furi-
ous. To be thus knocked on the head after his
