MINERAL ADAMANTEAN,forTILLING
DECAYED TEETH, without Heat, Pain, or Pressure.
NATURAL, ARTIFICIAL, and the celebrated TERRO-ME-
TALLIC TEETH, fixed without wires, springs, or any other
ligatures.
Monsieur DUMONT and SONS, SURGEON-DENTIST S,
1, FINSBURY-PLACE, South, opposite Fore-street, continue
to RESTORE DECAYED TEETH, however large or small
the Cavity, with their unrivalled MINERAL ADAMANTEAN,
so highly recommended by the Faculty of England and France. It
is applied in a few seconds, being introduced into the cavity of the
tooth in an almost liquid state, WITHOUT PAIN, HEAT, or
PRESSURE, allays the most excruciating pain in an instant, and
HARDENS INTO ENAMEL speedily, making a STUMP into
a WHOLE TOOTH, so as to render it equal in utility and beauty
to a sound one, and PREVENTING the NECESSITY of EX-
TRACTION. They also FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether
arising from age or the use of calomel.
NATURAL, ARTIFICIAL, and TERRO-METALLIC
TEETH FIXED, from ONE to a COMPLETE SET, without
extracting the roots, or giving any pain, incapable of discolouration
or corrosion, and fixed without showing any fastening whatever,
which renders it IMPOSSIBLE to DISTINGUISH the ARTI-
CIAL TEETH from the NATURAL ONES ; warranted to
answer every purpose of ARTICULATION and MASTICA-
TION, and will be found in every respect amply competent to
supply the place of their predecessors.

We observe that certain Reverend itinerants from
the Sister Island intend holding another meeting in
Exeter Hall, for the purpose of further 'enlightening
the good people of this metropolis, who 'have leisure
and inclination to attend to such subjects, respecting
the doctrines and opinions held by certain professors
of the Roman Catholic religion. Of course if the
Dean of St. Patrick, Dr. M'Ghee, and Mr. O'Sullivan
haveim'etelesiastical duties requiring their presence at
home, there can be• no possible objection to their com-
bining business and pleasure together by a tour in
England ; but it may not be amiss to say a few words
as to the object of these zealous functionaries in thus
spending their time, and the probable reason for this
over-abundance of zeal at the present moment. We
acquit them on this occasion of any undue spirit of
proselytism—indeed we have no doubt that the worthy
Dean at least inherits the sentiments, on this head, of
his famous predecessor, who "was by no , means in-
clined to thank the Pope for throwing his weeds over
his wall, and wished he would keep them in his own
-garden." We believe it is not so much spiritual and
religious as temporal and political objects which these
Reverend personages have in view. It is not in order
to gain. converts from Catholicism, or to strengthen
the adherence of this Protestant population to the
faith in which it is brought up, that Reverend
and Very Reverend Gentlemen leave their homes
,and families to hold these itinerant exhibitions through-
out the country. A Protestant nation can maintain
its faith without troubling itself about what it must
consider to be the errors in opinion or ceremonial of
its Catholic countrymen, and none know this better
than the getters-up of meetings of this kind. It is
because Protestants are deeply attached' to their reli-
gion that political parsons go about the country, en-
deavouring ,to frighten the Isle from its propriety, and
enlist the best and holiest feelings of its inhabitants in
the support of a corrupt and sinking cause. The fact
is, that as long as Deans and pluralist Rectors can get
sleek and fat at the expense of a starving population,
and pious sinecurists are allowed to spend their in•
comes in Cheltenham and Bath, Parliament is good
enough to afford them the means of doing so, by col-
lecting the tithe wrung from the earnings of a miserable
peasantry at the point of the bayonet.. -As long as this
state of things continues, we are never troubled or
astonished by incursions or meetings of this kind—the
" Church Militant" of Ireland acquiesces very peace-
ably in the vast numerical preponderance of Catholic
laymen—it stomachs all that pious horror of the enormi-
ties of a rival faith which is now thrust into our faces.
So long as a large share of the fleece comes in, it mat-
ters. not much to whom the flock belongs. It is
only when inquiry is about to take place, or has com-
menced—it is only when Reform threatens to sweep
away. useless dignitaries and bloated pluralists, and
justice is about to be done to a long-neglected people,
that' swarms of clerical functionaries blacken our
streets, proclaiming to all to world that religion—that
is to say, priestcraft—is in danger. The Government
is about reforming the Irish Church, and asserting the
important ptinciple that pay shall be commensurate and
co-existent with duty ; and that the surplus funds,
heretofore spent by Reverend Doctors at watering-
places, in tours of pleasure, and the like, shall be ap-
propriated to the education of those from whom they
-are derived : and hence all this outcry and clamour
which is attempted to be raised against the terrors of
Popery, forsooth I But do these Reverend individuals
really suppose that reflecting people are to be deluded,
in this 19th century, by so very shallow a manoeuvre ?
—do they suppose that every one is not fully aware
that such questions as those they are raising have
nothing on earth to do with those which are now be-
fore Parliament, and against which they wish thus, in-
directly, to stir up and increase opposition ? The
question before Parliament is the appropriation of a
surplus of Irish Church Revenues to purposes of Edu-
cation ; and the merits or demerits of the Catholic reli-
gion have no more to do with the subject than the truth
or falsehOod of the doctrines of Spurzheim or of Ben-
tham. If they want to discuss the real merits of their
case, let them show the necessity for pluralism--
the advantages of Sinecures—and the natural and in-
herent right which they possess to coerce Irish Ca-
tholics into the maintenance of these ornamental ap-
pendages of a 'Christian Church. Let them enlarge
on the many blessings that attend military occupation
and midnight levies, and the evangelical consequences
of such scenes as Rathcormack ; but as they cannot
do that, they would, perhaps, do better to stay at home
and exercise those duties which best become a Chris-
tian minister, than to perambulate this country in
order to engender differences and sow • the seed of
religious discord between different classes of his Ma-
jesty's subjects. Let them be assured, however, that
all their efforts will be thrown away. The conscien-
tious Protestant must necessarily believe the Catholic
in error on those points on which he differs from him-
self ; but he will not, therefore, be disposed to admit,
that because the people of Ireland have the misfortune
to entertain erroneous notions on religion, they are to
be oppressed and plundered for the exclusive support

It is with the bitterest feelings of regret, disappoint-
ment, and mortification, that we have this day to an-
nounce to the starving masses of the Irish population
that they have nothing to hope for from Government.
Lord Morpeth will wait until the Report of the Com-
missioners io:elri, sis complete—he will wait for further infor-
mation before he legislates ; but as that will not be be-
fore the commencement of next session, the Govern-
in the course of that next session, bring in
a Bill on the subject. Wait for further information
\V hat is the plain English of this waiting for further
information ?h is this—the present race of wretches
may starve—they may die unpitied and unthought of
in their dog holes, because Hon. Members arc not yet
agreed as to the best mode of relieving those who will
inevitably fill their places. The only parties who gain
by the delay are the landlords of Ireland. They take
another year's instalment of the labour—of the life's
blood of the Irish peasantry ; but did their rapa-
city and inhumanity end there, we might have a
melancholy consolation in the reflection that the pro-
gress of annual extirpation bad at length been arrested.
We might thus almost reconcile ourselves, not being
parties to the crime, to the awful destruction of life
which must intervene between this and the ensuing
Session of Parliament ; but alas ! no ! the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, himself an Irish landlord, and,
from all the information we have received? one whom we

j„_,_--,_--

should be sorry to hold out as an example for imita-
tion, has announced that he would give his support to
such a measure of poor laws only as would contemplate
the relief of the aged, blind, and diseased poor of Ire-
land. Against a measure so restricted we protest with
both bands uplifted. It would be worse than useless—
it would be a mockery of their distress—it would be
when they ask for bread giving them a stone. But
who aver dreamed that the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer would advocate an efficient system of poor laws
for Ireland ? He is in the same condition with the rest
of the Irish landowners ; and it is too much to expect
of human nature that it will sacrifice its own interest
when it has the power to promote it ; and knowing
this, in our advocacy for poor laws for Ireland, we
were never wild enough—we were never so Quixotic
as to appeal to the landlords of Ireland to advocate a
system of Poor Laws which must trench fearfully on
their rentals. It was to the humanity of the English
landlords we appealed, and we had hoped not alto-
gether without success. Notwithstanding existing ap-
pearances, we earnestly hope that the English land-
holders will awaken in time from their dreamy acqui-
escence in the views of those who have interests di-
rectly opposed to the establishment of Poor Laws.
They should remember that the course pursued
towards the peasantry of Ireland is calculated to teach
them that they are suffering by a war of property
against industry. It is a lesson the late Poor Law
Amendment Bill has gone far to teach to the people
of England ; and perhaps it might 'be avell not to
force it too efficiently upon their understandings. We
will calmly ask Mr. O'Connell what he means by
saying that the Act of Elizabeth produced its own
abuses—that those abuses followed of necessity, be-
cause the Act enforced the procuring employment for
the labouring poor ? Does Mr. O'Connell mean to
say that the labouring poor have no claim upon the
land ? Mr. O'Connell must remember that the la-
bouring poor have no voice in the legislation of the
country. The landed property of the country it is that
has legislated, and having so legislated as to plunge
the mass of the community into the lowest depths of
wretchedness, Mr. O'Connell, we presume, will now
contend that the blameless victims of that course
of legislation are entitled to no claim upon that landed
property for support. Here, however, is a claim
founded upon the strongest principles of equity,
even if we were disposed to abandon, which we do
not, the natural claim for support which every man has
upon the soil which gave him birth. Mr. O'Connell
did us the favour to notice our exertions on this subject
in a manner by no means complimentary ; but we tell
him that it is with the most unfeigned regret we per-
ceive that he is not so earnest an advocate of
Poor Laws as his countrymen have a right to
find him. We shall, however, continue to advocate
the adoption of the principle of the Act of Elizabeth,
and, feeling that nothing less will be of any avail,
we shall oppose all half measures, as only tending
to give the landlords the excuse for saying, " You have
a poor law," while the people feel that it is such only"
in name. Might we be permitted to put one other
question to Mr. O'Connell ? Why did the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman vote for the second reading of the
Bill, when all his arguments went to show the mischiev-
ous effects of poor laws in every country in which they
had ever been adopted ? We should have turned from
this subject in unutterable disgust, were it not for one
redeeming feature—the declaration of Mr: O'Brien,
that he thought he had no right to sit down to more
than the common necessaries of life, while the people
of Ireland were in such a lamentable situation. This
is a declaration that does honour to his head and to
his heart. We wish sincerely that the feeling was
more prevalent amongst legislators, on some of whom
the people of Ireland have strong and peculiar claims.
It will be seen that the Bill was eventually read a
second time—but after a declaration from Sir R. Mus-
grave that he entertained no hope of passing it during
the present session.a--3/orning Herald.
• The state of the poor of Ireland was last night
discussed in the House of Commons, on the question
of giving a second reading to a Bill for legally en-
suring relief to the aged and infirm, and employ-
ment to the able-bodied poor of that country. This
subject may, without the least exaggeration, be de-
scribed as beyond all comparison the most important
of any within the entire range of the diversified and
complicated affairs of the British empire. It in-
cludes the preservation of hundreds of thousands
of our fellow-creatures from the most miserable
death in the prime and vigour of their age—it
includes the redemption of millions from a state of
physical suffering and mental anguish, compared with
which the most painful and violent kind of death
may be justly regarded as a blessing ; it includes the
elevation of a whole people from a condition of moral
depravity otherwise hopeless and irremediable ; it
includes the continuance or extinction of habitual
and systematic resistance and violation of the law ;
it includes the preservation or the loss of Ireland as a
portion of the British dominions, and the still graver
question whether the connection between Great Bri-
tain and Ireland shall be a progressive benefit or an
ever-deepening curse to both ? This subject was dis-
cussed last night in the House of Commons, and we
sincerely wish we could add that it was discussed with
an earnestness, dignity, or gravity in any degree cor-
respondent with its incalculable and overwhelming
importance. We are bound, however, to say, that
the discussion was not of such a character as the sub-
ject required and deserved. There were some speeches,
no doubt, which merit the praise of good feeling and
good sense, and which will not fail to make a favour-
able impression upon the country. But it is a calami-
tous and disgraceful truth that many of those whose
political or social position demands their especial at-
tention to the subject, ventured to treat it lightly,
flippantly, impatiently, carefully keeping out of
view whatever information they possess upon the
subject, if indeed they possess any, and manifesting no
other wish in reference to it than that of getting rid of
it with all possible speed. The Irish Secretary seemed
to regard the utter absence from his mind of informa-
tion, of even the glimmering of an idea, upon the ques-
tion, as a thing to be rather proud of than otherwise ;
and Mr. O'Connell had characteristically made up his
mind to play with the question, and to laugh at all who
could not make up their minds to do the‘same thing.
But Lord Morpeth will not long be able, should he
remain Irish Secretary, to withhold his attention from
the introduction of a legal provision for the poor of Le-
land; nor will Mr. O'Connell long be permitted, should
he remain a Member of the Imperial Parliament, to re-
gard the discussion of this subject as a proper occasion
for the exhibition of sardonic mirth. Tile people of
Great Britain will ere long, or we greatly mistake the
spirit which is rapidly diffusing itself among them, be
weary of the costly, and cheerless, and hopeless task
of providing for Ireland the machinery of a Govern-
ment, if the proprietors of her soil are to remain ex-
empt, as they now are, from the indispensable duty of
inspecting and facilitating the proper working of that
machinery. The absence of any legal and compulsory
provision for the necessary support of the poor with-
holds from the landed proprietors of Ireland the strong
stimulus of self-interest—of self-preservation, we be-
lieve we might fairly denominate it in their case—
which would otherwise impel them to attend to the
condition, and to promote the civilization of the pea-
santry upon their estates, to provide for them the op-
portunity, and implant in them the disposition and the
habits of honest, peaceable, and persevering industry—
to make them obedient to the law—to convert them, in,
a word, from what they now are, into good subjects,
useful members of society, happy, orderly, and valuable
men. We perpetually hear of the past misgovernment
of Ireland from men calling themselves statesmen,
and permitted to occupy the stations to which they
thus prefer their --claim, who are yet apparently indif-
ferent to that indispensable condition of good Govern-

tier classes of society a
le interest in the wells
anb poor. It seems to -us
to be quite evident that there can be no good Govern*.
ment, no tolerable Government even, unless it be'ethe -
simplest form of despotism, where such an interest does
not exist, and equally clear that such an interest cannot
be created by any other means than the establishment
of a legal provision for the poor. The past misgo-
vernment of Ireland is identical with the present mis-
government of that country. It consists of the insane
attempt to govern that country by means of free insti-
tutions, without providing that aid, from the reciprocal
action upon each other of the various classes of society,
unassisted by which free institutions never did,_ and
never will, produce any consequences but such as are
pernicious.—Morning Post.
Our readers will do us the justice to recollect, that
whenever it has been our duty to discuss the political
pretensions of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, on
all such occasions, even when party spirit raged the
highest, we have studiously and conscientiously ab-
stained from offending the members of that communion
in what concerns the articles of their religious faith.
That which regards the belief of man as to the im-
mediate relation between his Maker and himself ought
invariably to be held sacred by those who differ with
him in opinion, as a topic on which no human
being has any right to quarrel with another. But
there is a characteristic of Popery, and one unfor-
tunately quite inseparable from its practice, which
bring, we do not say its spiritual doctrines, - but
its professors, both lay and clerical, under a jurisdic-
tion not legitimately applicable to the members of other
Christian churches. The Church discipline of Popery,
viz., the pOwer with which it invests certain portions
of its communicants over the actions of others, hasbeen
held by philosophers most degrading to our nature—
by moralists most corrupting to the mind—by states-
men most hostile to the interests of temporal govern-
ment--and by
.the master-spirits2freKlanAl in tke:
brightest periods of her history, dangerous to tiir=2,el
national freedom. The first relaxation of the Popery
laws in Ireland, which admitted Roman Catholics to
the unrestricted rights of property, laid the inevitable
groundwork of their. future admission to a share of po-
litical power. That, as it seems to us, would have
been the favourable moment in which to place a bar-
rier at once preliminary. and lasting, to all encroach-
ment of that principle of Popery which alone we Pro-
testants hold to contain within it any seed of mischief
to our own well-being as a religious or political com• •
munity. The peril is in the power of the Roman. Ca-
tholic priesthood over their flocks. The precaution
ought to have been the attachment of that priesthood
to the State, by placing them in a condition of tem-
poral dependence on it—in other words, by paying them
out of the funds of the state. At each successive stage
of relaxation in the penal laws affecting the Irish
Roman Catholics—to wit, in 1793 and in 1829—it -
was open to the Legislature, which granted privileges
to the whole body, to furnish likewise motives to that
portion of it which had the most extensive and ,endu-
ring influence over the rest, for directing that
influ-
ence in a manner promotive of the peace, and beneficial
to the political well-being of society. It is for us to de-
plore the neglect of such fortunate occasions, rather
than to reproach the parties upon whom it was
chargeable, and who perhaps had obstacles to en-
counter of which we possess no knowledge. The
Romish Church is no like any other constituted
establishment on earth. It will not, and does not, se
brook a real submission to any temporal power, or an
equality with it. The influence which each individual'
confessor builds up in each separate family, the whole
theocratic body aims at over the whole collective na-
tion, and the sanctity of the end, viz., the supremacy: -
of the church, consecrating whatever means, even those 7.5..
which. civil society condemns as most abominabl4i
may help to facilitate the desired purpose ; the most-
corrupt and hateful of all tyrannies overgrows the pep- .
ple—one bedded in deception and profound hypocrisy.
The Popish clergy of Ireland have been for years in
this condition. To succeed in spreading the priestly
domination, and rivetting it over the country, they
must still for a little while have recourse to fraud, and'.
a fraud, a pious and authorized one, for which absolu-
tion we doubt not will be deemed superfluous, it
is clear to us that the" Illustrissimus et Reverentissi-
mus" Archbishop Murray has now deliberately perpe-
trated, to serve the carnal ends and policy of his voca-
tion. It has, we think, been pretty satifactorily Murrayved,
both by the Standard and ourselves, that Dr. M
had, by every effort of patronage and authority within his
power, sanctioned by his episcopal name the publica-
tion of Dens's Theology, while in his letter to Lord
Melbourne he quibbles on the part he played, denies
that he had directed the publication of it, and declares
it was undertaken as a private speculation by Mr.
Coyne, his (Dr. Murray's) authorized arid official
diocesan printer and bookseller. Dr. Murray, as we
have before shown, deems it politic and expedient to
deny that he had ever made the said Dens's Theology
the conference book for the clergy of his diocese or
province—a denial not one whit less unfortunate than
that by which the " illustrious" Archbishop exposed
himself in respect of the publication of that celebrated
work. And here we shall content ourselves with ad-
ducing the same evidence by which the fact of his
encouragement of the " publication" was attested,
and which has been already quoted by our contem-
porary, namely, that of his own bookseller, Mr. Coyne,
who announces, in so many words, that—" his
Grace—Dr. Murray—Dr. Doyle—Dr. Keating—and
Dr. Kinsela, have made it ( Dens) the Conference
book for the clergy of the province of Leinster." Now,
Dr. Murray, as titular Archbishop of Dublin, is him-
self primate or metropolitan of the province of Leiuster
This we apprehend is enough. Dens is recognized as
the highest authority for a theologian, and his doctrines
arc installed throughout the province of Leinstcr, in-
cluding Dublin with its numerous population, as those
of the true Romish church. The religious exercises
also prescribed by Dens are to be understood as those
which Dr. Murray and the general body of Irish pre-
lates, who signed the recommendation of the book in
1808, have sanctioned, those by which the Romish
priests are bound, and to which their congregations
(God help them) are subjected. Then, what are these
religious exercises for the souls of true believers
Heaven forgive us for such a profanation of the word.
Reader, we have looked into sonic of the contents of
this work—this repository of execrable obscenity and
pollution. The Tractatus de Matrimonio, for ex-
ample, is a repertory of brutal and horrible abomina-
tion, with some of the very most diabolical contents of
which it is prescribed and enjoined that modest fe-
males (how long modest after contact with such a pes-
tilence ?) shall on sonic occasions be familiarized by
their confessors. Let any men imagine to themselves
a strapping confessor of twenty-eight or thirty years of
age exercising an inquisition into the domestic habits
of married women, by forcing them into detailed ex-
planations and statements upon matters growing out of
such heads of Romish morality as these, viz.,—Dens's
" Tractatus de matrimonio," vol. 7, p. 162. No. 52,
Dublin edition, " De actu conjugali exercito propter
voluptatem." Again, 53, "De actu conjugali ad
vitandam incontinentianz ; and further, again, and
more atrocious and insufferable in its details, No.
54, p. 166, "Depeccatis carnalibus conjugum inter

and disgusting obscenity than ever the Society
for the Suppression of Vice had to deal with in their
war against the filthy panders of this metropolis.
This, we tell our Protestant readers, is the sample
offered to them and to Great Britain, and to suffering
Protestant Ireland, of Romish edification. This is

guise of a pretended equality with them, that we are

turn their eyes, not to study, for it would kill them,
but to glance at the portions which we have mentioned
of that nefarious and unnatural work on Romish
Theology, and then bethink themselverstond us
