you must not be angry if she looks most con-
foundedly like a red lion."
The courtsmartial will adminster a civil law,
which will look as confoundedly like the martial as
the angel did the red lion.
Power without responsibility is despotism, and,
true to the design, no trace of real responsibility
will be found in the detestable project for strangling
the liberty of Ireland, When the Bill was first in-
troduced, we were told that the mildness of the
Bashaw would be a security against abuse; for our
parts, we were not disposed to swear by his beard,
but there will always be some ready to take per-
sonal security for public liberty. Ministers have
since, however, proclaimed that if either their
coercive, or their remedial measure be rejected, they
will resign. What the remedial measure is of
which they talk, does not very clearly appear, but
we will suppose it to be the Irish Church Bill,
though Mr. Stanley states, that the object of that
treasure is to enable the clergy to live like gentlemen.
But, waving that point, here ►s a tempting offer to
the Tory Lords, who will assist in passing tie mea-
sure against Ireland, and may the next hour throw
out the Irish Church Bill asel the M'nistry toge•
ther ! What then becomes of the security 'against
the abuse of these gigantic powers, in the mildness
of the Bashaw ? The terrible instrument, shaped
for the hand of the mildest of Bashaws, will be
transferred to the grasp of the most pitiless. The
Whigs will whimper, and put finger in eye, and
whine that they made the thing for their moderate
uses; but it is not thus that the rights of nations
are to he sported with; the liberties of the people
should neither be left to the mercy of any set of
men, nor to the accidents of any conceivable change.
These are truisms, but to the first maxims of Con-
stitutional Government we must come, when all is
about to be flung down to the foundations.

DISSENSIONS IN THE CABINET.

There have been rumours of varous sorts, and
from various sources, propagated during the past
week as to altercations, tendered resignations, arid
breakings up of the Cabinet. It would be idle to
deny that those things are sometimes asserted when
relying on little or no foundation. But in the pre-
sent instance we know they are, to a certain extent,
true. It was asserted in one of the evening papers
that Lord Althorp had actually tendered his resigna-
tion to the King : this was not the fact, but on the
morning when it was alleged he had done so, there
had been a dispute in the Cabinet as to the policy
of continuing or abandoning the military clauses
of the Irish coercion Bill. Lord Althorp, whose
opinion strongly inclines towards their abandon-
ment, counselled that step as advisable, and was
supported in his views by the Lord Chancellor
and Lord Lansdowne. Earl Grey, however, who
seems almost possessed with an evil spirit in
the person of Mr. Stanley, resisted this recom-
mendation, declaring that as the Bill had come
down from the Lords, or in all its material points
essentially alike, so should it be presented to the
King for his Royal Assent. Lord. Althorp talked
of, but did not act upon, a threat of resignation.
This, however, which is the very object to which
all the ambitious promptings of the Irish Secretary
tend, the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer was
for the time talked out of; and matters are now go-
ing on with a patched-up machine, that will stand
together, with the mode of conduct they at present
pursue, only so long as their exists no coalition or
junction between both sections of their opponents.
We need not point out the obvious duty of Minis-
ters under these circumstances; they can never
hope to conciliate, or obtain anything but a hollow
and insincere support from the Conservatives, who
still watch the opportunity to " trip up their heels,"
although they would not be gainers by such an
event ; for them to form an Administration, which
would last a fortnight, they themselves own to be
impossible. The natural supporters of Ministers
are the representatives of the people ; to gait)
whom they must abandon all Tory measures.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION- HOUSE.

The sister of the, Marchioness Cornwallis waited upon
the LORD MAYOR, and begged to he allowed to swear to
a "written" statement which she bad in her hand, relative
to a complaint made against her by the Marquis Corn-
wallis, at Marlborough-street.
The LORD MAYOR told the lady that be could not, with
propriety, allow an affidavit to be sworn I,efore him to a
circumstance which occurred out of his jurisdiction.
s..

The applicant, who appeared to be an exceedingly mild
and placid per-on, declared that the rough treatment she
had experienced from the police officers at Marlborough-
street, deterred her front applying there to be sworn. The
Marquis bad, she declared, mistaken another person-for
her, when he said that she had called frequently and
caused disturbances in his family. The oath which she
wished to take was, that she had not done what his Lord-
ship supposed she h al done.
The Loan MAYOR-And what is your object in wish-
ing to be sworn ?—The applicant stated th it she had five
puor children, who had been mainly supported by the
Marquis ; and that, in the belief that she was the person
who bad annoyed his family, his Lordship had ceased to
send her his usual contribution. Tire consequence was,
that she and her children were reduced to the greatest pri-
vation and misery. She was convinced, that if his Lord-
ship did not labour under this misconception, his humanity
could not have permitted him to withdraw his aid.
The Loan MAvoa observed, that it was always the
case, that when a nobleman happened to marry a lady
who had poor relations, it was immediately expected that
the whole batch should stare his wealth allid luxuries.
The applicant said that no such foolish expectation had
been entertained by her family.
The Loan Mavort—Well, you may depend upon it,
that if the Marquis does not believe your simple contra-
diction, he will not think an oath likely to make truth of
what he discredits. For my part, I wish that oaths were
altogether done away with.
The Loan Mavoa declined at all interfering. and the
lady went away, evidently in affirction.
