spring up and continue to occupy his place till
such glaring injustice was redressed. However
much the high church party may abhor popery,
and consider themselves bound to put it down,
they cannot be blind to the fact that restriction
and persecution have hitherto been of no avail,
but on the contrary have added to the numbers
of the Catholics, and have bound them together
from mutual sympathy—from a consciousness of
suffering martyrdom in a just cause, and from a
principle honourable to human nature—to reject
every temptation held out in the shape of re-
ward or punishment to become proselytes. We
contend, however, that provision should be
made for the Catholic clergy, not only as a mat-
ter of policy, but as an act of justice. Ecclesias-
tical property was originally granted for the
support of the church, and it is contrary to all
sound practice, and to impartial legislation, to
withdraw all that revenue from the majority,
and give it entirely to a minority which
does not compose more than a tenth
part of the population. Why was provi-
sion made for the Scotch clergy ? Solely
because the religion of the great body of the
people was Presbyterian. The principle we
recommend has be en adopted in France, and
is found to work well. Let the legislature try
the experiment in Ireland, and they will do more
to pacify that country than all they have hi-
therto attempted. Whatever may be said about
O'CoNNEL influence, the priests are the
active agents. Do them an act of justice—re-
concile them to the Government, and his occu-
pation is gone.

The master tailors' meetings have been very
numerously attended, and the whole trade seems
united in a determination to put an end to the
co-operative system so far as their journey-
men are implicated in it. In this deter-
mination they are supported by the weal-
thiest of their customers, who are will-
ing to put up with any personal inconve-
nience rather than give encouragement to a
system, which they believe as dangerous to the
working classes as to all others. We may expect
that the demand for journeymen will bring thou-
sands of tailors to London from Scotland, Ire-
land, and even France and Germany. When
they arrive here they must get employment, so
that the effect will be a great reduction in price
as the result of competition.

The French Papers contain little news. A
letter from Bayonne of the 24th, speaks of the
arrival of Don CARLOS iii Spain, in conse-
quence of which the Carlists in Arragon and
Castile had raised the standard of revolt against
the present Government.
Our own accounts, however, from Madrid,
which we published in a second edition last
night, show that Don CARLOS has entered
Spain as a fugitive, if at all. He is probably
ere this a prisoner.

The French Chambers are to be prorogued:on
the 15th of May, on which day the Chamber of
Deputies is to be dissolved. The elections are
to take place between the 25th and 30th of
June. It is stated from Odessa, that Marshal
MARMONT was expected there on his way to
Egypt. The King of DENMARK pronounced
the separation of the Crown Prince from his
wife on the 16th. A decree is to appear to
deprive him of the right of succession to the
throne.

The Vienna letters speak of the probability
of Count MUNCH-BELLINGHAUSEN, the ac-
tual Austrian President of the Germanic Diet,
being appointed Austrian Minister of State.

The Funds have fallen a little, in conse-
quence, it is supposed, of the late disturbances
at Lyons. The conferences are held frequently,
and are expected to end by the 24th. The
Duchess of BERRI and LUCCHESI PALLI
are to pass through Vienna on the 26th, and
to leave the day following for Prague, where
she is to reside.

The Nautilus arrived at Falmouth on the
28th, having left Lisbon on the 13th, and
Oporto on the 16th. Hopes are entertained at
Lisbon that arrangements may yet be made, by
negotiation, for putting an end to civil war.
The point, however, may be considered settled ;
the only question being now, whether Don
MIGUEL shall leave with a suitable provision
for his support, or be compelled to quit with-
out—whether he shall be treated with as a
person of some consideration, or as what he
is, a rebel and usurper. NAPIER was block-
ading Figueira, and the Duke of TERCEIRA
was at Murcia. CARDOZO was retreating to
Moncervo.

Lord ALTIIORP'S Bill for the Abolition of
Church Rates, is to be discussed on the 16th,
May. Meantime,what is called" the United Com-
mittee of Dissenters," with Mr. WIL KS and
Mr. WEYMOUTH at their head, have passed
strong resolutions against those of the House
of Commons ; whilst another party of Dis-
senters, in conjunction with Mr. GIBSON and
Mr. DAVID WIRE, solicitor, have taken a
still more decided course, and resolved to convene
a public meeting, to petition for a dissolution
of the union now existing between the church
and the state. At this meeting Mr. JosEPII
HUME is to be invited to take the chair. We
find that the latter gentleman and Mr. WILKS
disagree as to the mode which ought to have
been adopted in opposing Lord AL THORP'S
resolutions in the House of Commons ; the
Patriot affirming that, but for Mr. HUME'S
interference, Mr. WILKS would have had a
majority against the Ministers. It is evi-
dent, therefore, that attempts will be made,
