(LEFT SPEAKING.)

There are at present in Rome—that is, since
the commencement of winter—about 800 English, a num-
ber much less than in preceding years. With the excep-
tions of the Earl of PEMBROKE. Lady CLARE, the
Countess of Covertrav, and Lord W. FITZGERALD, there
are but few of any notoriety among them. The society,
however, although limited, has been extremely agreeable
and pleasant this winter. All the Ambassadors, particu-
larly those of France and Austria, have contributed much
to the gaiety of the season, as their palaces are open for
the reception of visitors one or two evenings in the week.
The house of TORLONIA, to which all the English who
transact business in the bank of that firm are invited, has
given repeated splendid soirees. Their entertainments,
however, are not over select, and on the last " recevi-
mento" evening, a great sensation prevailed on the en-
trance of the fair companion of an Irish Nobleman into the
rooms. She was unaccompanied by her Lord. Many
respectable English ladies instantly retired. The en-
tertainments given by Cardinal Weer., since his change
of residence to his new palace, have been particularly
splendid. He supports the dignity of his station with the
greatest credit to his country, and is universally respected
here for the great politeness and urbanity of his character.
Regardless of distinction in religion, he receives at his
palace all the respectable English visitors at Rome. In the
absence of an English Ambassador, he is, in many respects,

delivery reminded the much of his brother, Lord ALTHORP.
He appears most zealous in his sacerdotal vocation, nor
spared he his Protestant brethren.

The remains of the late Mr. CHRISTOPHER
DAVIS were interred in a vault belonging to the Smoot
family, in the chancel of the parish church of Shepton
Mallet, on Thursday last. A considerable number of the
respectable friends of the deceased attended his remains to
the grave. Mr. DAVIS was a native of Shepton Mallet,
where he possessed some property. Reports have been in-
dustriously circulated of his being a professed infidel, and
of his having roasted a Bible, which reports are totally
false. The body of CLARKE was removed to his place of
residence, and was buried on Thursday morning, at seven
o'clock, in Bedminster church-yard. GREGORY was in-
terred ori Thursday afternoon in the burial ground of
Christ Church ; and the body of KAYSE was taken to
Cardiff for interment.—Bristol Mercury.

The celebrated " Canterbury Tales," by
SOPHIA and flanatxT LEE, are now printed in "The
Standard Novels," the whole five Bvo. volumes of the ori-
ginal edition being comprised, without the least abridg-
ment, in two, the first of which, just published, contains
the following stories, viz.:—The Traveller's Tale, Mont-
ford ; the Poet's Tale, Arundel ; the Frenchman's Tale,
Constance; the Old Woman's Tale, Lothaire ; the Young
Lady's Tale ; the Two Emdys ; and the Officer's Tale,
Cavendish. These beautiful fictions have been the esta-
blished favourites of the public fur many years; they
elicited from Lord BYRON the warmest eulogies, and even
furnished subjects for his muse. Mrs. HARRIET Lee,
who wrote the greater number of the Tales, has re-
vised the volumes expressly for the Standard Novels.

" At the time of my abdication, both my duty
and my private feelings towards the country which
gave me birth, and the noble Portuguese nation, in-
duced me to imitate my illustrious ancestor, lion
John IV., by availing myself of the short duration
of my reign to restore to the Portuguese nation, as
he had done, the possession of its ancient rights and
privileges ; thus fulfilling, at the same time the pro-
mises made by my august Father, of glorious mt—
mory, in his proclamation of the 31st May, 1823,
and Charter of the 4th June, 1824.

" To further this object, I promulgated the Con-
stitutional Charter of the 29th of April, 1826, in
which the ancient forms of the Portuguese Govern-
ment, and the Constitution of the State, are vir-
tually confirmed; and that this Charter might truly
be considered a confirmation and sequence of the
fundamental law of the Monarchy, I, in the first
place, guaranteed the most solemn protection, and
most profound respect, to the sacred religion of our
ancestors; I confirmed the law of succession with
all the clauses of the Cortes of Lamego; I de-
termined the periods for the convocation of the
Cortes, in the same manner as it had already
formerly been practised in the reigns of their Ma-
jesties Don Alfonzo V. and Don John 111. lacknovv-
ledge two fundamental maxims of the ancient Por-
tuguese Government, viz. that laws could only be
framed by the Cortes, and that in this assembly alone,
and no where else out of it, should any matters be
discussed relating to the imposts and administration
of the public revenue and property ; and lastly, I
determined that the two branches of the State, No-
bility and Clergy, should be united, so as to form
one Chamber, composed of the great dignitaries of
the kingdom, ecclesiastic and secular, experience
having demonstrated the disadvantages arising from
the separate deliberation of these two branches.
" I added some other provisions, all tending to
consolidate the national independency, royal dignity
and authority, the liberty and prosperity of the
people; and anxious to preserve these blessings
from the hazards and inconveniency generally at-
tending the minority of a Sovereign, I thought that
the best means of securing so desirable an object
would be to unite my august daughter to a Portu-
guese Prince, naturally supposing, that, both in
consequence of the identity of religion and birth,
no one could feel a greater interest for the complete
realization of all those benefits with which it was
my intention to felicitate the Portuguese nation ;
persuaded also, that the good examples of my vir-
tuous relation, the Monarch in whose Court he had
resided, must have rendered him worthy of esti-
mating the great confidence placed in him by a bro-
ther who did not hesitate to intrust to him the des-
tinies of his beloved daughter.
" This was the origin of the choice I made of the
Infante Don Miguel. Fatal choice, indeed, which
has made so many innocent victims join their sighs
to my lamentations, and which will hereafter be
looked upon as one of the most disastrous epochs of
Portuguese history.
" The Infante Don Miguel, after having tendered
to me his oath of allegiance, as his natural Sove-
reign, and to the Constitutional Charter, in the ca-
pacity of a Portuguese subject; after having soli-
cited me to invest him with the Regency of the
kingdom of Portugal and Algarves and its domi-
nions, which I effectively conferred upon him, with
the title of my Lieutenant, by the decree of the 3d
July, 1827 ; after having commenced the discharge
of such important functions, tendered his free and
I spontaneous oath to maintain the Constitutional
Charter, such as I had bestowed it, on the Portu-
guese nation, and to deliver up the Crown to
her Majesty, Donna Maria 11., as soon a' she
should become of age, dared to commit a crime un-
paralleled in history, from the circumstances with
which it was attended.

"Pretending to decide a case which, neither de
facto nor de jure, was contentions; violating the
Constitutional Charter, which he had just sworn to
maintain, he convoked the three States of the King-
dom, in the most illegal and illusory manner, thus
abusing the authority with which I had entrusted
him, and treading under foot the respect due to all
the Sovereigns of Europe, who had acknowledged
her Majesty Donna Maria 11. as Queen of Portugal,
he had it awarded by the mock representatives of
the nation, who had assembled under his authority
arid influence that to him and not to me the Crown of
Portugal ought to have passed at the death of his
Majesty Don John VI. Thus it was that Don Mi-
guel usurped for himself that throne with which I
had intrusted him.

" The Foreign Powers stigmatized this act of re-
bellion by immediately withdrawing their diplomatic
agents from the Court of Lisbon, and my Ministers
Plenipotentiary, as Emperor of Brazil, at the Courts
of Vienna and London, entered their two solemn
protests, of the 24th of May and the Bth of August,
1828, against all and every violation of my heredi-
tary rights, and those of my daughter; against the
abolition of the institutions spontaneously granted by
me, and lawfully established in Portugal; against
the illegal and insidious convocation of those ancient
States of the kingdom, which had become obsolete,
and ceased to exist in consequence both of long pre-
scriptions, and of the new institutions above men-
tioned ; against the aforesaid decision of the mock
three States of the kingdom, and the arguments on
which they grounded it ; expressly against the false
interpretation of an ancient law, framed by the
Cortes of Lamego, and of another passed on the
12th of September, 1642, by his Majesty Don John
IV., at the request of the three States, and in con.
firmation of the said law of the Cortes of Lamego.
" All these protests have been sealed with the
blood which, since, has almost daily been shed by so
many thousand victims of the most spotless fidelity ;
and, in truth, this treacherous usurpation, placing
the perpetrator in the path of illegality and violence,
has brought upon the unfortunate Portuguese an ac-
cumulation of misfortunes greater than any nation
ever suffered.

" In order to continue a Government, boastingl)
said to emanate from the national wish, it has heel.
necessary to erect scaffolds, on which have perishes
a great many of those who attempted to resist the
atrocious yoke of the usurper. The dungeons

" Thus it was that the land of my birth was over
whelmed with all the horrors that human perverse-
ness can excite. The people oppressed by the out•
rages of their rulers—the pages of Poi ttuueso
hit-
tory defiled by the lowering apologies with which
the frantic Government of the usurper has been
compelled to atone for some of its arts of wanton
atrocity against foreigners, in spite of their respec-
tive Governments—all diplomatic and commercial
intercouse with all Europe totally uninterrupted—in
short, tyranny polluting the throne—misery and
oppression stifling the most noble feelings of the
nation. This is the pitiful picture of unhappy Por-
tugal for the last four years. Nevertheless, afflicted
as lam at the existence of so many dreadful evils,
I still feel a consolation in discerning the visible pro-
tection which God, the dispenser of thrones, grants
to the noble and just cause which we defend.
" When I cast my eyes on Terceira (the refuge
and bulwark of Portuguese liberty, already illus-
trious in other periods of our history), and see how,
in spite of every obstacle, Portuguese loyalty was
enabled to preserve in that island the slender means
with which her noble defenders not only have pre-
cured the obedience of the other islands to my august
daughter, but also to gather together the force. 0'
which we now depend, I cannot help acknowledgi' g
in all this the special protection of Divine Prortdence.
" Trusting on its aid—and the present Regency,
in the name of her Most Faithful Majesty, the
Queen, having represented to me, by means of a
deputation sent to the presence of her said 'Majesty
and myself, the ardent wishes of the inhabitants of
the Azores, and other faithful subjects of her Ma-
jesty residing in those islands, that ostensibly taking
upon myself the par; which belongs to me in the
affairs of her Most Faithful Majesty, as her Father,
Guardian, and Natural Defender, and as the head of
the House of Braganza, I should take on so im-
portant a crisis those prompt and efficacious mea-
sures which the circumstances imperiously call for;
and lastly, moved by the duties irapo.ed on me by
the fundamental law of Portugal, I resolve to aban-
don that retirement, to which my presetit circum-
stances would lead me, and, leaving on the Conti-
nent those objects which are dearest to my heart, I
depart to join those Portuguese, who by the greatest
sacrifices have made their valour triumph over all
the efforts of the usurper.
" When, after my arrival in the Azores, I shall
hare returned my sincere thanks to those indivi-
duals who composed the Regency (which I had ap-
pointed in consequence of my absence) for the
patriotism with which, in such arduous circum-
Stances, they discharged their functions, I shall reas-
sume (for the reasons already mentioned) the au-
thority with which the said Regency was invested,
which I shall preserve until the period when, the
lawful Government of my august daughter having
iieen established in Portugal, the General Cortes of
the Portuguese nation (which I shall immediately
convol*) shall have decided whether it is conve.
nient that I should continue in the exercise of those
rights, expressed in the 92d article of the constitu-
tional charter ; and when resolved affirmatively, I
shall take the oath prescribed by the same charter
for the permanent exercise of the Regs,cy.
" It will be then that the oppress) Portuguese
shall see the end of those misfortunes which so long
have weighed upon them ; they shall not hare to
fear any reactions or acts of revenge from those of
heir fellow-countrymen, who hasten to deliver them
from bondage. At the moment of their meeting,
those who for so many years have been far away
from their native soil, will deplore with them the
calamities which they have endured, and will bury
them in eternal oblivion. With respect to those
miserable beings whose guilty conscience makes
them shudder for the overthrow of that usurpation
of which they were the instigators and abettors,
they may rest assured that, if the law can punish
them by depriving them of those political rights
which they so shamefully misused for the perdition
of their country, no one of them shall be deprived
either of his life or his civil rights, or of his pro-
perty (without prejudice to the rights of others),
as so many honest men unfortunately have been,
whose only crime was to have defended the laws of
their country.

" I shall publish an amnesty clearly defining the
limits of this act of oblivion, declaring, in the mean-
while, that no impeachment will be received respect-
ing past events or opinions ; avoiding, by appropriate
measures, that no one may in future be molested
under such a plea.
" On these bases I shall apply myself with the
most unremitting zeal to the furtherance of many
other no less important objects for the honour and
welfare of the Portuguese nation ; one of the most
uppermost in my thoughts being the re-establishment
of the political and commercial relations which ex-
isted between Portugal and other States ; religiously
respecting their rights, and scrupulously avoiding
any compromise in matters of foreign policy, and
which might in future disquiet the allied and neigh-
bouring nations.
" Portugal shall enjoy all the advantages resulting
from internal peace, and consideration abroad. Public
credit shall be re-established by the acknowledge-
ment of all public debts, whether national or foreign,
legally contracted, and, together with this, means
shall be provided for their payment, which must ne-
ces,arily have their due share of influence on public
prosperity.
" I insure to that part of the Portuguese army,
which, having been artfully deceived, gat present
upholds the system of usurpation, that it shall be
welcomed by me, if, renouncing the defence of
tyranny, it shall spontaneously join the liberating
army, an army which shall lend its aid to the main-
tenance of the laws, and shall be the strongest support
of the constitutional throne, and of the welfare of
their fellow-citizens. I equally guarantee to the
officers of the militia, who shall refrain from sharing
in the defence of usurpation, that they shall not be
molested, and that they shall be immediately allowed
to retire from the service, in order that they may re-
turn to the bosom of their families, and to their
domestic employments, from which they have for so
long a time been drawn away.
" Not entertaining the least doubt but that these
frank expressions of my sentiments will find an easy
way into the hearts of all honest Portuguese, lovers
of their country, and that they will not hesitate in
joining me and the ranks of their loyal and fearless
fellow-countrymen, who accompany me in the heroic
enterprise of the restoration of the constitutional
throne to her Most Faithful Majesty, my august
daughter, it behoves me here to declare, that I am
not going to carry to Portugal the horrors of civil
war, but peace and conciliation, planting on the walls
of Lisbon the Royal flag of the same august Sove-
reign, in accordance with the mandates of eternal
justice,and the unanimous voice of all civilized nations.

he had signed it to enter his protest against any such

Munster:, in submitting to the hypocrisy of a Tory
faction.

Some angry discussion occurred on account of
some reprobatory terms applied to those who had
signed the paper for a dinner, but they vindicated
themselves in a manly manner. Those who had
proposed it to the nation had feasted out of the
pockets of the already-too-often-fasting people, and
the Ministry, in submitting to the suggestions of
such persons, sanctioned hypocrisy, arid seemed de-
sirous to regulate the religious feelings and practices
of the people—an interference which should not be
tolerated by any pretending to determination or
freedom of religious principles. The Council or
Union, as a body, does not sanction any violation of
the proclamation, but the members individually may
dine when and where they please—
‘4 To fast is your's—to feast is mine.
We'll neither fast; for both shall dine."
Some Catholic and ll:ssenting members of the
Union spoke against the proclamation as interfering
with their religious feelings. One or two members
spoke laughably of the cause (cholera morbus) as-
signed for the fast, and said fasting, the physicians
agreed, would engender rather than prevent the
cholera. It. was but right to treat a ridiculous pro-
position based on hypocrisy, and suggestions of the

Mr. SHAW said, that as tithes were sanctioned by the
law, were part of the law, force must be had recourse to
in collecting them, if they cannot be otherwise levied.
Mr. H. GRATTAN contended that though the Ca-
tholics may be legally, they were not morally liable to
tithes. Toe Church of Ireland was a Corporation—that
is, they were trustees of a certain amount of public pro-
perty, and they ceased to possess the right to levy tithes
when they neglected or viola,ed the conditions of their
trust. And the Protestant hierarchy of Ireland was in
this condition—they ♦iolated the conditions. on which they
were invested with the rights of tithes, inasmuch as they
appropriated to their own uses property, to which, ac-
cording to the institution and law of tithes, from Charle-
magne downwards, the poor and the church-repairer had
an equal right.—( Hear, hear.) Never was there a more
monstrous system of misappropriation and injustice than

do its duty towards the Irish people if it did tint procure
an immediate abolition of the tithe system.
Mr. GILLON trusted that, as deeply feeling on the
subject, though not an Irishman, he might be allowed
shortly to trespass on their attention. He took it upo❑
him to say that the Church had no right to its property,
but as the creation of the Sttte, and that the Legislature
had a claim to appropriate that property to other uses, or
to modify its distribution. He trusted the Legislature
would shortly put an end to a system so monstrous as the
present tithe system in Ireland, and that the pittance of the
poor Catholic peasant would not be wrung from him to
supply the luxury of lazy and overpaid incumbents. He
trusted that Englishmen too would awake to a sense of
th'hir rights, and would oppose, by every means vriihin the
compass of the law this odious hurthen. He bore testi-
mony to the superior efficiency of the Scotch Church,
where a permanent commutation had taken place, and
where their ancestors had, on the hill-top and the wave,
maintained their right to freedom of conscience. He hoped
a reform of the existing abuses would be brought about ere
It came from without with a force there would be no with-
standing.
After a remark from Mr. CAESSETT PELHAM,
Sir R. PEEL hoped that the House would suspend its
judgment on this important question until it should be in
possession of the detailed information which was to be Lid
before the Tithe Committee. How far the present sys-
tem might be altered with advantage was a qaestion for
future discussion, but while laws remained upon the
statute-book they ought to be asserted ; and if Ministers
were prepared to enforce them, they might depend upon his
cordial and vigorous support.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir C. WETHERELL entirely concurred in what bad
fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet.
Lord EBRINGTON said, he should certainly refuse to
support Government in any coercive measure to enforce
the payment of tithes, unless it should be accompanied by
some definitive arrangement that would settle the question
finally to the satisfaction of the Irish people.—(Cheers.)
The petition was oidered to lie on the table.
A petition was presented from certain freeholders of
Dorsetshire, as we understood, in support of the claims of
Lord Ashley to sit in Parliansent as the representative of
that county.—Laid on the table.

THE REFORM BILL—(ENGLAND.)
On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the Speaker left the
chair, and the House went into Committee on the Reform
Bill.

The CHAIRMAN proceeded to read the 32d clause, and

Sir R. H. INGLIS admitted that he did say " No,"
and took no blame to himself for having done so.
Sir G. ROSE was the person who pointed out to the
Chairman from whence the " No" came which was the
immediate cause of the division. He, however, fully
agreed that a conversation like the present was any thing
but useful.
The reading of the clause was then proceeded in, and
after a short conversation, in- which several Hon. Members
took part, the clause was agreed to.
The House then resumed, when the Chairman reported
progress.

Another party,—a radical, revolutionary, violent, and
unprincipled party,—not only wish to cram the Bill whole
down the throats of the Lords, but even, if they were sure
of such a change in the opinions of the Upper House as
that they could count upon doing this without any crea-
tion of Peers, would still prefer to carry the Bill by
that appearance of assault and insult upon the Lords,
which would gratify the Times newspaper and their
violent democratic partisans out-of-doors. In addition to
this, the same men, for the selfish purpose of maintaining
themselves in office and rendering the power of the Whigs
permanent in the Upper House, are doing all in their
power to make the world believe that there is to be no
change of conduct on the part of the Lords, (though
their own private information falsifies such pretence), in
order that they may have a popular excuse,—or at least
an excuse which will go down with the people,—for for-
tifying their own power by the creation of a batch of thirty
or forty or fifty Peers.
Happily, however, the conservatives have influence
enough to decide the Cabinet to make no Peers, unless
such creation should appear absolutely necessary for carry-
ing the Bill, with its main features of a schedule A, and a
great enfranchisement, not only to a second, but to a third
reading.
The King, too, entirely acquiesces in this view of the
subject; but at the same time, confiding implicitly in
his Cabinet has unquestionably given Lord Grey carte
blanche to make any number of Peers, at whatever time
he may think expedient to secure the second read-
ing of the Bill. The Radicals know this, and are
therefore not sparing of falsehood in order to make it be
believed that no change has taken place in the Peers.
There is, however, no doubt that not only Lord Wharn-
clitre, Lord Harrowby, and Lord Haddington—three of
the great leaders of the moderate Tories of the Conserva-
tive party—declared their own determination to vote for
the second reading of the Bill—for schedule A—and, with
the exception of the Metropolitan Members, for the en-
franchising clauses ; but that with them are to he added
the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of London, Bath
and Wells, Laudaff, Lincoln, Killaloe, St. David's, and
Worcester ; and also Lords Harewood, Gage, De Roos,
Northwick, Glengall, Coventry, Somers, and Wilton. In
addition to these, we understand that Lords Fitzwilliam,
Crewe, O'Neil, Middleton, and Stradbroke, who did not
vote at all before, now mean to vote for the Bill and its
second reading, reserving to themselves every right of
amending itAn Committee.
Besides these, we are aware of sixteen Peers, who yet
hesitate what course they shall take. Moreover, there has
almost ceased to be a doubt that the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the greater part of the remaining Bishops will at
least refrain from voting upon the second reading, even if
eventually they do not vote for it.
It must be understood that none of these high-minded,
wise, and patriotic men in the least give up their opinions
that a far, very far less extensive measure than that for
I which they are prepared to compromise, would be touch
better for the country; but they feel that the House of
Peers is reduced to a choice of evils, and that such a com-
promise is preferable to the certainty of immediate confu-
sion, or even to a continuance of the present stagnation of
trade.
Another amendment which they will try to enforce is
the confining the votes of
minoasntufi.inciptuorritnagnt4aonsd. fvreitaehiomldaert-s
tot theirerforth°ewangrbiocruolutugrhissls ; and some regultion will also be
attempted in relation to the 101. clause.
These facts our readers may rely upon, in full assurance
that they disclose the real state of the political world at
this anxious and uneasy moment ; and we are happy to
have it in our power thus to remove the cloud which,
either from ignorance or (as we fear) from a less honest
motive, has been thrown over the public. Whatever cause
may be found in the statement for regret, there is happily
room still left for hoping a settlement of this question,

ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS.-JARNO-
vicK, the celebrated violinist of the last century, was a
man of very eccentric character, and some amusing anec-
dotes are related of him. At Lyons once he announced a
concert, at six francs a ticket. No audience appearing,
he resolved to be revenged on the stinginess of the Lyonese,
and postponed the performance till the following evening,
reducing the price of admission to three francs. A
crowded audience assembled, but, while they were waiting
in vain for the performer, he was many miles off on his
road to Paris. He often quarrelled with the celebrated
Chevalier ST. GEORGE, who was the first swordsman of
the day, and a good violinist. One day, in the heat of a
dispute, JARNOVICK gave this formidable opponent a box
on the ear, but ST. GEORGE, with admirable moderation,
coolly turned to a person present, and said " J'aime trop
son talent pour me battre avec lui !"—V lam was the suc-
cessful rival of JARNOVICK. His fame having attracted
the attention of the QUEEN, the unhappy MARIE AN.
TOINETTE, he was invited to perform at a concert at Ver-
slilles. The room was crowded with persons of distinc-
tion belonging to the Court, and Viorri had begun a solo,
which was listened to with breathless attention, when a
buzz was heard in the room of " Place a Monseigneur le
Conde D.A./awls!"
and some bustle took place in making
way for the Prince. VIOTTI, indignant at the interi op-
tion, placed his violin under his arm, and walked out of
the room, to the great amazement and displeasure of the
company.—(From the Metropolitan's usual agreeable
article on Music and its Professors.)

PROMOTION OF SCRIPTURAL EDUCA-

'HON IN IRELAND.

Exeter-hall was yesterday crowded to excess. A
large proportion of the audience was composed of
elegant, and fashionably-dressed ladies. At noon
Lord Lorton took the Chair. We observed several
Noblemen and Clerical dignitaries upon the plat-
form. Among others were Lords Brandon, Rad-
stock, Kenyon, and Mandeville.

The CHAIRMAN said, that as gentlemen were pre-
sent who were fully acquainted with this subject, he
should merely take the opportunity of bearing his
testimony to two things,—that no education will
answer for Ireland, unless placed on a scriptural
footing, and that no people can be more anxious for
such an education than the people of Ireland.
Captain GORDON, 111. P., should endeavour to put
the meeting in possession of the present state of
scriptural education in Ireland. Fourteen years
aeo a Commission was appointed to investigate the
then state of education in that country; and by
their report it appeared that 200,000 children were
then receiving scriptural education in Ireland. By
the report of another Commission, made in 1825
and 1826, it appeared that 568.964 children were
at that time under this desirable course of educa-
tion : so that in twelve years an increase of 368,964
had taken place in the various schools throughout
Ireland. Now, in what description of schools did
this increase take place ? In schools which assumed
as their foundation the teaching of the entire word of
God. In 1812, when the first report eas made,
20,000 out of the 200,000 were Roman Catholics ;
and when the last reports were made, 300,000 were
in attendance on schools where the Scriptures were
taught.. Between 1826 and 1831, there was an in-
crease in the scriptural schools of upwards of 50,000.
Now 700,000 children attend the Irish schools, and
from 440,000 to 450,000 are now receiving scrip-
tural education. What is the inference to be drawn
from these facts but that experiment has succeeded,
and that it ought to be followed tin ? Is this at-
tendance limited by the exertions of Catholic Priests,
or by the want of pecuniary means ? He had no
hesitation in ascribing it to the latter. The
Hibernian Society is so greatly in debt to the
Treasurer, that it is daily compelled to refuse appli-
cations to establish new schools. Sc, also, with
the Ladies' Hibernian Society. If these Societies
were supported by the public, they must succeed.
The famishing people of Ireland were at this moment
crying out for instruction; and, despite of an in-
tolerant Catholic hierarchy, it is only limited by the
want of pecuniary resources, and by the check which
• this Christian population, by want of liberality, may
be pleased to give it. Another important question
arises here—What is the character of the attendance
of these schools ? By the report of the Commission
in 1825, the Kildare-street Society schools taught
57,129 children; arid here he must remark, that the
Catholic Priests exerted themselves to prevent the
attendance of the children at the periods of in-
spection ; hence the discrepancy between the
'lumbers mentioned in the report and the amount
stated by the Society itself, which, at the
period alluded to, was in reality no less than
100,000. Yet out of this 57,000 remaining in
the schools at the time of inspection, no less than
29,000 were Catholics; and if the number of
those kept back were taken into calculation,
at least two-thirds of the children educated at the
Kildare-street and Hibernian Societies appear to
be Roman Catholics. He begged leave to read to
the meeting an extract of the examination of an in-
spector of these schools, who was examined on oath,
respecting the feeling of the Catholics in the county
of Clare, at the disturbed period of 1822. He was
asked whether the iCatholics were prejudiced against
Protestant schools ? He answered," Yes ; but the
prejudice was on the part of the Catholic clergy,
and not the Catholic population." " Are you ac-
quainted with the schools of the Catholic priests,
which afford gratuitous instruction, and which
schools would the peasantry in Clare prefer ?" An-
swer
" Those of the Hibernian Society." He had
therefore, he considered, a right to say, that he had
established two things, and to these points he begged
most particularly to draw the attention of the meet- •
ing, as the foundation of the appeal made to them.
Ist. The [etcticability of scriptural education, so
far as Raman Catholic feeling, and even preference
is concerned ; 2d. That there was an increasing
success of scriptural education in Ireland ; and he •
m ght add a third, that nothing but the penurious-
ness of Protestants themselves could limit that suc-
cess. If the Government persisted in the plan of edu-
cation for Ireland, they would do that for the Church
of Rome which she could not effect for herself. He -
came now with great pain to what he had heard in
another place. He stood not there as a politician;
but it was his duty to state facts. It was given as
a reason in the place he had just alluded to, why the
Legislature should interfere with these schools, be-
cause they taught the Bible which was opposed to
Roman Catholic feeling.—(The Hon. Gentleman
here read an extract from a speech of Mr. Stanley.)
The hostility of the Roman Catholic priesthood is
given as a reason by the Government why they can
no longer support Protestant schools. Let them
then, he would say, withhold their 30,0001. if they
think proper, but do not let them use their influence
to overthrow the free scriptural schools of Ireland.
—(Loud cheers.) That was not neutrality, but
partizanship. The new system provides that a
school shall be founded in every parish ; and that
for our days in the week the Bible shall be ex-
cluded. It was not certain whether even extracts
would be admitted, but if they were, it was clear
hey must he such only as would suit the Roman
Catholic feeling. What must be the result of such
a system as this ? It removes the Bible from Pro-
testant hands as well as Roman Catholic, and religion
would be altogether banished from Ireland. To the
Protestants of Ireland their religion was ever dear,
and he could assure the meeting that whatever sys-
tems might be proposed, they would defend their
Bibles at the risk of their lives.—(Cheers.)
Lord KENYON proposed the first resolution—that
the instruction of youth in the letter and principles
of the entire word of God is a duty of divine obliga-
tion, and has been proved by experience to be essen-
tial to the moral well-being and social happiness of
mankind.
• The Rev. Mr. MELVILLE second the resolution.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Lord MANDEVILLE proposed the second resolution,
to the effect that the efforts hitherto made in Ire-
land, to teach the Scriptures, have been attended with
success.

Mr. SnAw, M.P. (Recorder of Dublin) supported
the motion. His countrymen would obey the laws
as long as they were properly administered ; but if it
was sought to lay sacrilegious hands on their Bible,
to tear down the standard of the living God, and to
raise a mutilated one in its stead, then it would be
no time to halt between two opinions—then, in
every valley and on every hill of his native country,
would resound the rallying cry, " To your tents, 0
Israel !"—They would unite in one mighty band,
ready to march forward, despite all the Kings of the
earth who should come against them. Strong, not
in their own strength, but in the cause of their God,
they might be vanquished, but they would never
surrender.—(Great applause.)
The Rev. Dr. Dealtry, the Hon. and Rev. Baptist
Noel, the Hon. and Rev. Gerard Noel, and the Rev.
Mr. Benson, then addressed the meeting; when,
after thanks were passed to the chair, it was resolved
that the meeting should adjourn to that day week at
twelve o'clock.

Most of the speeches were remarkable for intem-
perate language.

Within the last few days some of the pitmen
have been committed to gaol, to take their trial at the ap.
proaching Durham A,sizrs, on a charge of being con-
cerned in the diabolical outrage at Waldridge Colliery.
Early on Saturday morning last, while four pitmen were
r,turning from their wink at Cranaling tun Colliery, they
were waylaid by eight other!, with black and muffled-up
fices, who attacked them with bludgeons, fractured some
of their skull', cod nearly murdered them.... Tyne Mircura.
