LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1834.

The Earl of WICKLOW this evening is to
move for a copy-of the Irish Church Property
Commission, in order to give noble Peers and
right reverend Prelates an opportunity of pro-
testing against the measure, and expressing
their high approbation of the patriotic conduct
and conservative principles of the late Secretary
for the Colonies. They no doubt think they
have obtained a great acquisition by the accession
of the right hon. gentleman, and will consider
themselves justified in holding . out against
church reform, in raising an outcry against
church spoliation—against the injury done to
religion, and the encouragement given to- Ca-
tholics and Dissenters, when they are cheered
on by four late members of the Reform ministry.
We look upon this as the only alloy of evil mixed
up with the many blessings of the ministerial
secession. It will have the effect of encou-
raging opposition to beneficial measures ; of
embarrassing the government, at least for a
time ; of agitating this kingdom, as well
as Ireland, and of delaying Reform till the
pressure from without beconies so irresistible as
to sweep away not only the abuses, but some of
the most valuable portions and most undoubted
bulwarks of the Established Church. We will
take the case of Ireland alone, and ask what
Mr. STANLEY and his party will do with that
country if we shall ever be cursed with an Ad-
ministration formed on the principles for the
sake of which he has retired from office. The
very announcement of such a Ministry would
not only kindle anew a tithe war in Ireland,
but excite a feeling of hostility to the Govern-
ment and people of England which no coercion
bills and , no army could ever subdue.
Would the priests, when they found all hopes
of redress extinguished be idle ? Would Mr
O'CONNELL be silent? Would the people be
backward in answering the call of the one
and the instigations of the other, and what
could Government oppose to the general
voice of a people, supported, as they
would be, by a vast proportion of Bri-
tish subjects ? Another coercion bill,
without redress of grievances, is out of the
question. No House of Commons would
s mnction such a measure again, and if they
should attempt it the Catholics of Ireland,
backed by every Dissenter in England, and by
every Churchman who preferred justice and the
best interests of his country to cruelty and op-
pression, would rise as one man against it. What
then ? A new ministry and a new Church Reform
Bill. But would a bill that may satisfy the people
now, satisfy them when flushed with victory ?
There is no instance on record of such mode-
ration; and if the high church party, and above
all the Bishops, will allow themselves to reflect
on their peculiar position and the experience of
the last five years, they will find that a refusal
to redress grievances only encourages opposi-
tion, and that the rise in the demand is pro-
portioned to the length of the delay. Are the
effects of resistance to Catholic Emancipation and
Parliamentary Reform thrown away, and are the
parties that opposed both, and the party that
carried the one and opposed the other, so infa-
tuated as to unite in► opposing church reform,
and in bringing affairs to a crisis which will
throw the whole power into the hands of the
popular party, and deprive them, as in the case
of the Reform Bill, of amending even the most
objectionable parts ? We 'can assure them that
the enemies of the church are anxiously watch-
ing their conduct, and are in confident expectation
that they will refuse all redress, as these men
have worldly wisdom enough to see, that they
have no other means of accomplishing their
purpose. For the sake of the Established
Church, the peace of the country, and the

character of the House of Lords, we confi-
dently hope they will be disappointed.

At yesterday's morning sitting in the House
of Commons, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and
the LORD-ADVOCATE took the oaths and
their seats for Edinburgh and Leith. Both
the members were highly cheered on their en-
trance. In the evening, in reply to a question
put by Sir R. PEEL, Lord ALTHORP said
that it was the determination of Ministers to
pass the Irish Tithe Bill in the present Session.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG, in an elaborate and some-
what verbose speech, brought forward his !no-
tion, of which he had previously given notice,
for the Repeal of the Reciprocity Duties Act,
which, after a protracted discussion, and an un-
answerable reply from Mr. POULETT THOM-
SON, was rejected by a majority of 117
against 52.

Whether Mr. LYNCH shall persevere in his
motion relative to the appellate jurisdiction or
not, we trust he will not lose sight of the com-
mittee for improving the condition of Ireland,
of which he gave an early notice this session.
In the improvement of the navigation of *the
Shannon, in connecting that navigation with
the navigable lakes in Galway, in the drainage
of the bogs, and in opening the means of inter-
course by road's 'Of general communication, the
benefit that may be conferred upon Ireland is as
certain as it may be immediate.
We believe that the learned gentleman
means to move for the appointment of a
commission for the accomplishment of these
important objects—we do not mean of in-
quiry, for further inquiry on this head is
unnecessary—but for the purpose of forthwith
carrying them into execution. We approve of
the appointment of such a commission, and we
believe that one commission will be sufficient for
the accomplishment of the whole. But we
beg leave again to suggest to the learned gen-
tleman, that the commissioners to be appointed
do hold their sittings in Westminster. We mean
no offence to him or his countrymen when we
say that the commission will otherwise fail.
We make the suggestion for reasons which pre-
vailed at the time when the commissioners for
making roads and bridges in the Highlands of
Scotland were appointed, who were directed to
hold their sittings in Westminster. It is abso-
lutely necessary that the Commissioners should
be placed beyond the reach of local bias, inte-
rest, or prejudice, or even the suspicion of it.
We believe that the grant of a much smaller
sum of money than is generally supposed will
be sufficient for the accomplishment of the im-
portant objects to be intrusted to them. For
instance, in the case of the drainage and im-
provement of the bogs, consisting of nearly
three millions of English acres, when the
Commissioners shall have made agreements
with owners of bog land for long leases, in
order that their bogs may be drained and
improved, we are certain that no diffi-
culty will be experienced in finding per-
sons of skill and capital willing, at their
own risk and expense, upon sub-leases, to
undertake the drainage and improvement of
these bogs, whereby a new source of employ-
ment may be immediately opened in Ireland to
her unemployed populations and particularly to
those dispossessed of small holdings in order to
make way for proper sized farms. We there-
fore again press this subject upon Mr. LYNCH
and our readers.

By the Paris papers of Wednesday, we learn
that Don CARLOS and Don MIGUEL were,
on the 23d ult., at Evora, and supposed to be
marching on Elvas, with a force of only 7,000
men, including 400 cavalry. The allied Spanish
and Portuguese armies, estimated at 20,000 men,
were in pursuit of them. These journals cal-
culate that the opposition in the Chamber of
Deputies would not amount to more than one-
fourth of the entire number.

Buenos Ayres Papers state that a consider-
able sensation had been excited in that city in
consequence of a report having been generally
prevalent in the House of Representatives that
the Cabinet of Madrid had been debating a
project for procuring Monarchs for the South
American republics. ,

The decided and energetic conduct of the
master tailors has not been without its effect
on the misguided operatives, many of whom
have returned to their duty, convinced at length,
that longer to hold out, when there is not the
remotest chance of their ever being able to ac-
complish their ends, is an act of flagrant sui-
cide committed on their own best interests. On
this occasion' the master tailors have acted with
justice, tempered with clemency. Instead of
-allowing themselves to be carried away-by vin-
dictive feelings, they have consulted only the
dictates of humanity—which in their case, as in
almost every other, is the best wisdom. Hence
about four thousand operatives have returned
to work which assuredly would not have been

the case had other sentiments than those of an
enlightened sense of justice actuated their
employers towards them. We extract the pas-
sage from the last report of the master tailors,
wherein the gratifying fact of this large seces-
sion is announced :

" The committee have also the very pleasing
duty to inform the trade and the public that.
according to the latest returns made to them,
the number of journeymen tailors who have se-
ceded from the Trades' Union, and signed the
above declaration, is about Four Thousand, and
the committee hope that they will very shortly
have added to the number every industrious,
respectable, and well-disposed journeyman tailor
in the metropolis."

(From the Buenos Ayres Papers.)
Private letters from South Fe say, that the alarm and
anxiety which had prevailed in Corrientes from the move-
ment of the Paraguay troops has, in a great degree sub-
sided, as the object was only to protect the occupation of
these points. It is stated that the Dictator has forwarded
propositions to the government of Corrientes, and that it is
probable they will be accepted.
The province of St. Juan has suffered considerably from
the sudden overflow of the waters on the 30th of Decem-
ber, which destroyed the dykes, rushing into the centre of
the town of St. Juan, throwing down several houses and
churches.
