THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1834

DUBLIN.

(From our own Correspondent.)
E Decidedly the richest speech, and the most notable con-
version of all the speeches and conversions at the great
Protestant Meeting here last week were those of the Earl of
Glengall. There is a dramatic interest in every thing which
relates to that clever peer; and his eloquence, which is pecu-
liar, shines out like "a lucid coin" in an after-dinner speech.
His health was given as a "Resident Landlord of Ireland,"
where he certainly did happen to be resident on last Friday,
but it was "by accident," as he says himself, he just
dropped in to prop the cause of Protestantism, and could not
but feel that " his presence was rather a novelty, for he lives
in the south of Ireland—in the-county of Tipperary 1" True
for him ; he is one of the novelties of the season, sure enough ;
but that he lives in the county of Tipperary is rather a bit of
a non-sequitur. There was a time when he might very fairly
have said that he lived hard by that county, but tempora mu-
tantur et nos mutamur in illis. Unless there be a Tipperary
in France, the less this pink of resident landlord brags on that
head, the more will it be to the credit of -his good sense. He
has lived, he says, to repent of his sins of toleration and
liberality. " His family was Roman Catholic for hundreds of
years, and he was once an emancipationist, but he repents
that act." "Ahme ! that act !" as Hamlet says. " The
Government has lost the confidence of the clergy and the Pro-
testants—and why ? Because every person of rank or pro-
perty has been banished the precincts of the Castle, which is
now infested by people who are neither landholders nor fund-
holders, but live by their wits." Oh !—God be with long ago,
when sack and sugar was no sin. People might live by their
wits then, and never come in for a gird from my Lord Glen-
gall. Not that it is any wonder that he in particular should
regard with a peculiar feeling the folks wot lives by their wits,
for he ought to know the stuff they are made of. His Lordship
further talked a la mode de Curran of fellows who " rose as
they rotted." Whom the mischief could he mean? We know
of some such in this country, and of a great many more who
rot as they rise : but that is no novelty here. On the matter
of property his Lordship waxes glorious, and says, " Our
property is not founded on spoliation, but belongs rather to the
other side; and with great pleasure I inform you, that it is to
King William my family owes the resumption of their pro-
property." This staunch Protestant travelled all day last
Sunday with four hired post-horses to where he lives, in the
south. of Ireland. Sic itur ad astra.

Another of the zealous defenders of true religion, Lord
Winchilsea, spent the Sunday on board of a steam packet on
his return to England. This is still more striking than the
indecorum above stated; for Lord Glengall does not pretend
to more sanctity than falls to the lot of a political Protestant;
but the other pillar is a sort of enthusiast in his way.
As we are upoi, the subject of Sabbath-breaking, I shall
just mention a third instance, which also occurred on last
Sunday, and to which it might be difficult, if not impossible,
to find a parallel in any civilised Christian country out of Ire-
land. In a county till lately considered to be on the brink of
rebellion, one magistrate went on the part of a second magis-
trate, intending to deliver a hostile message to a third magis-
trate, who was in the house of a fourth magistrate ! A satis-
factory explanation prevented the necessity of the appeal to
arms. Every one of the parties is a determined Conservative,
and all most eloquent and pathetic on the subject of the
dangers which 'threaten the religion of their fathers. Is it
any wonder that true Protestantism does not prosper amid
such a gentry ?

BANKRUPTCY COURT. 'THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner FANS.
IN THE MATTER OF JOHN THORNE.

The claims against the estate of the bankrupt were this day
audited, and amounted to 1,0771. 11s. 10d.

Mr. LONG said there was a debt which he wished to prove.
He had been appointed solicitor under the commission, and the
claim he had to make related to legal business done for the
recovery of some property. A Bill in Equity had been filed,
to which an answer had been put in, and it was necessary
that certain deeds belonging to the bankrupt should be lodged
with the clerk of the Court. The property was afterwards re-
covered by ejectment, and the deeds were in the hands of Mr.
Ford, who acted conjointly with him, Mr. Long, under the
commission. The question which he wished to submit to the
Commission was whether he had not a lien on these papers ?
The COMMISSIONER inquired if Mr. Ford was the partner or
the agent of Mr. Long.
Mr. LONG.—No, but he acts conjointly with me.
The COMMISSIONER said, that he could not recognize such
a conjunction. The law did not recognize such a term, and
in order to have a lien upon the papers, Mr. Long should
have them in his own possession, or that of his agent.
Mr. FORD, the solicitor to the assignees, explained that
Mr. Long was the original solicitor. After the death of one
of the assignees he (Mr. Ford) had been appointed, but as
Mr. Long had given every facility to the adjustment of the
accounts be did not wish to prejudice his claim in any way.
The COMMISSIONER observed that the law of lien was de-
pendent upon actual possession, and he was decidedly of opi-
nion that Mr. Long could have no lien upon those deeds.
A dividend of ss. in the pound was declared, and Mr. Ford
requested an adjournment to the Nth of September, for the
purpose of procuring some necessary vouchers, to which the
Commissioner acceded.
