THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1835,

porated with the great Relief Bill of 1829, and we
fear that it was suppressed only from an exaggerated
apprehension of the resistance it might have met with
from some of our polemical Bishops, or of the invete-
racy it might have excited against other portions of that
bill. It is now to be seriously considered, and we press
it, with all deference, upon the notice of His Majesty's
Ministers, whether incalculable mischief, amounting
even to future and insurmountable difficulties, in the way
of such a pacification with the Romish Church of Ire-
land might not spring from an unnecessary delay in
carrying the measure into execution. In Ireland no-
thing can be stationary—peace or war must be pro-
gressive. If the hatred of sect and party go on in-
creasing as they have done, the priest must keep pace
with the universal movement. A little more will make
him pledge himself against the acceptance of any in-
come from the state, which would be the only means
of real approximation between them, and then adieu
to every hope of the government of Ireland but by
arms.—Times.

should, however, for fourteen days check the infe •tion of
their example. •
The couple requested that the parish would be so good
as to try them once more, and assured the Lord Mayor
that if he would intercede for them they would take their
oaths never to drink a drop of gin again.
The LORD MAYOR—You shall have some good sharp
work in Bridewell, by way of removing the bad effects of
the hard bouts you have both had, and I shall increase the
punishment upon every future complaint.
A young woman named Chapman, who had very much
the appearance of a gypsey, was brought up, charged by an
old tattered evil-looking harridan with having stolen a red
shawl.

The complainant stated that last January the prisoner
stole her shawl and pawned it.
The LORD MAYOR—How do you know that she stole
it ? Complainant—Oh, she robbed me before. She's a
terrible rogue.
The LORD MAYOR—And why didn't you get her taken
up long ago ? Complainant—Because I never could find
her before.

There never was, so far as we recollect and be-
lieve, a period of such. extraordinary contentment as
the present. We, who are upon the Opposition side,
are perfectly satisfied with our position ; but the con-
tentment of the Tories reaches even to the third hea-
ven. The boast of
,the French Marshals, who con-
ducted the inglorious campaigns of Louis XV. in
Germany, some 70 or 80 years ago, that " although
they had lost many battles, and gained no victories,
yet that they had made many splendid retreats," is a
mere trifle to the unparalleled rejoicings of the Tories
upon their repeated defeats. They were beaten upon
the Speakership, and they rejoiced that the majority
against them was not more numerous. They were
beaten upon the Address, and they gloried in their de-
feat, and claimed it as a victory. Next came the ap-
pointment of the Chairman of Committees to the
House of Commons ; and dreading the joy of another
defeat, they actually proposed the Whig Candidate.
How many more victories and consequent feasts of
joy are yet in store for them, we must leave to be re-
vealed by the grand truth-teller, Time, who spares not
even opinions or parties. They bring to mind the
days of the past, when worsted politicians were—

The LORD MAYOR—That's odd, for I am informed that
she is to be seen every night in Bishopsgate-street. Com-
plainant—No, my Lord. I have been looking after her
ever since, and never could find her till last night.
The prisoner—My Lord, she might have seen me every
day and night since she said I robbed her. I never robbed
her, my Lord, and she knows perfectly well that she is
swearing falsely. lam not a thief, although lam unfor-
tunate.

Several of the officers said that the prisoner was to be
seen every night in the street, and that she never attempted
to get out of the way.
The LORD MAYott—There is more in this than meets
the eye. From what I have learned there is a regular set
against this poor girl, but she shall not fall a victim. lam
convinced that every word this old woman has said is false.
The girl is discharged, and let the old woman take care
not to appear before me again.
