“SOFT FELL THE DEW."
A PARODY.

Soft fell the dew, and mild was the morn,
That lovelily opened, that wakened the dawn ;
Soft fell the dew in its exquisite sheen,
Real love might be pictured, true bliss might be seen.
I have seen that dew fall, I have seen that morn break,
And the sun all resplendent in glory awake ;
That sun cast a shadow, but the shade when I met
I found was enrivalled by Warren's Blaek Jet.
That Blacking has beauty I thought not to view,
Till in my bright boots I my face could review :
A splendour unrivalled my boots now assume,
Since polished by Warren's, by Warren's Jet Bloom.

This Easy shining and Brilliant Blacking, prepared by ROBERT
WARREN, 30, Strand, London; and Sold in every Towin_ in the
Kingdom.
Liquid, in Bottles, and Paste Blacking in Pots, at 6d.-12d.,

UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU-
THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.
QIGHT RESTORED.-NERVOUS HEAD-
ACHE CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the
greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the
inventor has received during the last twenty years, from families and
editors of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible
restorative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved
from cataract, gutta serene, opthalmia, and inflammations, all dis-
eases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses
.eft off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered imperviou
to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the
most wholesome, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is re-
commended by occulists and medical practitioners for its many vir-
tuft. The high patronage and character it has attained, is a testi-
monial beyond suspicion. To prevent imposition, ask for GRIM-
STONE'S EYE SNUFF, manufactured by the inventor, No. 39,
4(0ml-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre,
London.
COPY OF A LETTER sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury .—" Dear Sir,--You may make use of my name,
for a true fact, in taking your Eye Snuff. I have received such
great benefit, that I can see to write without glasses, which I could
not do before I took your Eye Snuff, my eyes being so very weak;
t. rs, are now perfectly strong ! Many of my poor aged men and
ni would purchase it in preference to other snuff, but they
cannot afford sixpence per ounce, or buy it in the cannister. I re-
main, Sir, your's respectfully, H. PLUCKWEI.I., Governor of the
Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834.
Sight restored."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,'
Sept. 22, 1833:—" EYE SNUFF.—This is really an extraordinary
preparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we
know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and
purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a
scrofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion
when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power-
fully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity
of labour."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service Gazette,
April 19, 1834.—" The advance of civilization, which gives birth
to so many new forms of infirmity and disease, brings in its train
new discoveries of remedial agents and new applications of science
to their virtues. In no case has this remark been more signally
verified than in the modern prevalence of near• sightedness, and
the new appliances for its relief. Truly, we are a blinking genera-
tion • every second man glares upon us in the streets through varied
shades of blue, green, or amber, but none of these optical preser-
vatives profess to restore the impaired faculty to the vigour of health.
Let, however, the student and the literary devotee learn, with gra-
titude, that such a remedy exists. The instances in which Grim-
stone's Eye-snuff has renewed the power of vision by restoring
tone to the over-strained organ are so numerous and well authen-
ticated, that the individual who neglects to make an experiment of
its efficacy may justly be said to ndulge a silly scepticism at his
own expense."
OBSERVE the Inventor's Signature on each Cannister. Sold
in cannisters, Is. 3d., 2s. 4d., 4s. 41., and Bs. each. Observe the
signature on each cannister, " With the patronage of his late Ma-
jesty, and authorised by the Lords of the Treasury." A liberal
allowance to all venders of " Grimstone's Eye-snuff." All orders

TALES OF MY NEIGHBOURHOOD, BY THE
AUTHOR OP " THE COLLEGIANS. "—No writer has depicted
Irish character and manners with greater truth and effect than
Mr. Griffin, and almost everything he has done possesses a
merit not always attributable to his contemporaries of the
Emerald Isle. He is impartial, not bigotted to any opinions,
and free from exaggeration ; his descriptions of scenery
are charmingly picturesque; his personal sketches vivid and
individual; and his tales well constructed, entertaining and
interesting. It is by such pictures that the amendment of
much which must be regretted may be suggested to Ireland."
—Literary Gazetto.

Throughout the Southern part of the West Riding
of York, the crops present a most luxuriant appearance. The
young wheat is strong and healthy, and though it has in many
places suffered from the recent frosts, yet it appears to be fast
recovering.—Leeds Inielligencer.

Sir Robert Peel acquired more reputation from the
tact and discretion with which he managed the affairs
of the Tories as their Minister in the House of Com-
mons, than, as it would appear from his first efforts, he
is likely to obtain in his new avocation as leader of
their Opposition. He should not allow his temper to
get the better of his astuteness, dexterity, assumed
candour, and sincere contempt of power and place—
and of all those other qualities in which it is admitted
he has had no competitor since the time of the great
founder of his order, the illustrious original, of
which he is no humble copyist—Sir Joseph
Surface. His attack upon the Government on the
presentation of Mr. Childs' petition, betrayed too
much petty disappointment at their taking the only
course which could insure them the support of the
people previous to the great trial of strength, that
must take place at the next election, between the
old Oligarchy and the middle classes. And it is
strange to observe how much the wily Baronet,
when thrown off his balance, stirs up the dirt from
which his party can never cleanse themselves, and in
which they get deeper with every plunge. The Go-
vernment, forsooth, must abandon the Corporation
Bill, and instantly provide for the Church-rates, the
most pressing grievance. Settle this question imme-
diately. Oh, yes ! Provide a remedy for one of the
consequences of Tory folly and extravagance, in order
that when their turn comes that difficulty may be out
of their way, and neglect the opportunity of acquiring
strength and popularity, so necessary in the approach-.
ing contest for which they have been so busy in pre-
paring their Conservative Clubs and Unions, and
the other machinery of Tory Jacobinism and con-
spiracy against the rights of the people I To
whom is the country indebted for the opposition,
and at last almost to a resistance to the payment
of Church-rates ? While the small sum necessary
for keeping in repair the ancient edifices of re-
ligion in the towns and country parishes was all that
was required, it was paid generally without complaint,
scarcely even on the part of the Dissenters, not then
oppressed with the further attempt to tax their increas-
ing number for building and maintaining new churches
for the exclusive use of the members of the Establish-
ment. Sir Robert Peel, Lord Bexley, Mr. Goulburn;

and their colleagues, i❑ a fit of real or pretended reli-
gious ardour, thought it necessary to tax the country
with votes for one or two millions, to increase the
number of churches. Giants from these extravagant
subsidies in favour of one class, were only made on
condition that the parishes applying for them should
provide an equal, or a large proportion of the ex•
pense of the new buildings. The host of corporate
authorities, reverend dignitaries, lean pluralists, or-
thodox builders, contractors, architects, and tradesmen
in the several towns, anxious to second the zeal
of the Tory Government, and with a natural instinct
for the jobs that must grow out of it, but still unwilling,
to contribute from their own pockets, or unable to per-
suade their fellow-congregationists to subscribe funds
to keep pace with the liberality of Parliament, hit upon
the expedient of taxing the population generally, by
borrowing the money required on the security of
Church-rates. Sir Robert Peel stated this debt to
amount to between 800,0001. and a million ; and the
proposition now made is, that as the parishioners will
not pay, the public should send another vote of good
money after'that which has been extravagantly wasted,
and take upon themselves this million, in addition to
the million already extorted from the country by the
system of which Sir Joseph and Mr. Vansittart were
the worthy apostles. John Bull is, indeed, easily
duped ; but we scarcely think quite so gullible as
the Tories suppose. He neither forgets the authors
of his burdens and calamities, formerly the bitter ene-
mies, now the professing supporters of liberal prin-
ciples ; nor gives them much credit for the factious
impatience with which they goad their opponents to
find the means of relief from them. One point appears
clear at All events—that the lenders of the money on
the security of Acts of Parliament must be paid. But
we are as clearly of opinion that while there is the most
distant apprehension of the return of the Tories to
power, the Whigs will act with great discretion in al-
lo wing the Bill to remain unsettled. In the present
temper of the Church, as manifested by the recent
proceedings at Oxford, and the enrolment of many
of the active members of the Establishment in
the Conservative Clubs, and in the array against
any candidate for the representation in support of
this Administration, it may be as well to postpone
all grants of this description; till they can have
the advantage of their being brought forward under
Tory auspices, or till it is ascertained that
Tory dominion is absolutely at an end. If the Tories
return to power, we hope that Sir Robert Peel, in
preparing to provide for this deficiency, will bring
down an offer from Lord Bexley to refund his re-
ceipts under the unjustifiable pension of 3,000/.
given to that functionary on his retirement from
office ; a pension utterly unmerited, either by refe-
rence to the circumstances or fortune of that noble
personage, or to any other service rendered by him to
the public, than as the proposer of the Church grant,
and the author of this grievance now thrown, with all
the other consequences of Tory misgovernment, upon
Lord Melbourne's administration for remedy and
redress. The conduct of Sir Robert Peel in the
other proceedings of the night was quite worthy of
the part he had taken on the presentation of Mr.
Childs' petition. The difficulties of the landed
interest arise wholly from the system of which the
Church-rate question is so apt an illustration. That
obligation is only part of the public debt, contracted
upon the same principles, and in support of the same
profligate policy pursued byTory Administrations, and
the usurped power of the Oligarchy for the last half
century. The tenants may well complain, seeing that
if not already ruined, they must be wholly ruined by
struggling to pay heavier taxes and heavier rents than
they (lid before the stoppage of the Bank in 1792, with
the prices of produce reduced to the same level. The
landlords are equally oppressed by a load of engage-
ments contracted in a depreciated currency, while rents
were double and treble what the tenant can now afford

to pay. They are utterly unable either to sustain the one,
or to redeem the other, and appeal, without knowing what
remedy to suggest, to Parliament for relief. They were
bolder in their attack upon Sir Robert's Government,
and applied for the repeal of the Malt-tax. His
political opponents acted with more manliness and ho-
nour on that occasion, than Sir Robert displayed on
this. Their support, indeed, .was so chivalrous, that
it was notorious several county Members, bound to rat
from their professions on the hustings, escaped the di-
lemma, and were permitted to vote against the Govern-
ment, the assistance from the Whigs being so efficient
as to allow that desertion from the Ministerial ranks.
Sir Robert made a candid speech, and left the House
without voting 1 The country will draw their own
conclusions from such tactics. We sincerely pity Sir
Robert. Obliged to stoop to such artifices to obtain
the support of his unrelenting adherents, who are un-
willing that his character should appear to stand higher
than their own in public estimation, his conduct as
leader of the Opposition will, soon destroy the illusions
created as to his real character, by his activity and ma-
nagement during the short period of his power.—
Morning Chronicle. •
The intolerant Church has added another crime to
the crowded catalogue of its enormities, in the illegal,
vindictive, and cruel persecution of Mr. Childs. The
case, the facts of which may be stated in a few words,
was brought before the House of Commons on Mon-
day last. Mr. Childs, for thirty years a respectable
inhabitant of Bungay, refusing, from conscientious
motives, to pay the Church-rate, 17s. 6d., assessed
upon him, the churchwardens, Samuel Scott and John
Bobbit, instead of the usual proceeding in such cases,

persecution, and the suffering illegally inflicted on him,
bears its own commentary ; it is- one of many tru-
culent villanies perpetrated in the name of religion.
Can the progress of Dissent, Deism, and Infidelity,
surprise when such are the fruits—the blessings—be-
stowed by the paramount Church ? The principle
involved is one not only of individual wrong, but
compromising the first and dearest right of the
people—the liberty of the subject. If a Court, civil
or ecclesiastical, can, with impunity, in direct con-
travention of the law, incarcerate any individual
marked as a victim by factious or sectarian malice,

where is the use or protection of laws which may be

mocked by the Executive in its caprice or in its
crimes?
.It is not an extenuation, but an aggrava-

tion, of the case, in this instance, to allege that the
Ecclesiastical Court was ignorant of the existing
sta-
tute. The ministers of the law should be acquainted

with its details, or be visited with punislanent, as in
such case ignorance is a crime. The liberty of the
subject must not be sacrificed to the incapacity of the
judge. But whether originating in ignorance or per-
secution, this flagitious violation of law and justice by
the Ecclesiastical Court vitally affects .not alono the
rights of the Dissenters, but of every individual in the
State. It is no palliation of the conduct of the Church-
wardens, nor of that of the contrivers whom they
masked, to offer to forego the costs already incurred,
and cease all further proceedings, if Mr. Childs would
pay the original demand of 17s. 6d. Such an offer
was an insult when it was the principle that was op-
posed, and from conscientious motives that Mr. Childs
objected to the claim in. the first instance. These crea-
tures, estimating his conscience by the standard of their
own, supposed all religious feelings, we imagine, to be
based on pounds, shillings, and pence. Whatever
opinions may be entertained as to Mr. Childs' first
refusal of voluntary compliance with the claims of the
Church, all must admit that the persecution of the
Ecclesiastical Court has made him the Hampden of
the age. And, if the Dissenters and every liberal and
enlightened man throughout the kingdom do not join
in petitions, and, if necessary, in raising funds for
pursuing justice to its consummation, and obtaining
redress for the sufferer—then we say they deserve the
continuation of the curses which the established reli-
gion has inflicted on thein.—Morninbc, Advertiser.
We feel great pleasure in copying the following ar-
ticle from our evening contemporary, The Sun. From
the first we suspected that all was not right, and gave
a caution against the panic raised in regard to Spanish
Bonds. We subsequently called for an inquiry as to
the concoctors of the nefarious plot, and we now de-
nounce the whole proceeding, as one of downright pre-
meditated robbery. With this conviction it is scarcely
necessary to state that we consider that any man who
accepts, after this exposi,., the difference occasioned by
this atrocious scheme of plunder to be a participator
in the crime, and any man who pays is a voluntary
dupe. Why not institute inquiry ? A clue might,
perhaps, easily be found, which would lead to the li
villain's hiding place, and drag him forth as a. spec-
tacle of public execration :--"•Yesterday Lord Pal-
merston was waited upon by Mr. Ricardo, the Con-
tractor for the Spanish Loan, in order that the public
might learn if the British Government had received
any recent dispatches from Spain, which would justify
the impression that Don Carlos was likely to overcome
the Queen's forces. Mr. Ricardo added that he was
induced to apply for information to the Government,
in consequence of rumours having bees► set afloat, to
the effect that Don Carlos had recently obtained signal
victories over the Queen's Generals. Lord Pal-
merston assured Mr. Ricardo, and the gentlemen who
accompanied him, that the dispatches received by the
Government did not contain a syllable_ which went to
corroborate these idle rumours. On the contrary, his
Lordship was assured that the Queen's cause was to all
appearance as triumphant now as it had been for several
weeks. This announcement was made on 'Change, just
before it closed yesterday, and the consequence is,
that the funds have risen this morning, as w►ll be seen
by a reference to our city article. But, why we ask, did
not Mr. Ricardo take an earlier opportunity of waiting
on Lord Palmerston ? Why did he wait till, as
we are informed, certain individuals were literally
robbed to the amount of sums, varying from twenty to
fifty thousand pounds, by the unprincipled conduct of
a set of well-known stock-jobbers, who are a disgrace
to the body to which they belong ? The time to pro-
pose questions to the Foreign Secretary was the mo-
ment the reports were attempted to be circulated, which
caused the late panic in the Foreign Market ; not
after every individual in London had had opportunities
of knowing that the whole affair was an infamous
fraud. But perhaps we are too severe upon Mr.
Ricardo, who may have good cause for acting as he
has done. Had he applied earlier to the Government,
the panic would have been prevented ; and thus the
sacrifice of considerable individual property would
have been avoided."—Morning Advertiser.

If any new proof were required of the powerful ef.
feet produced by the observations of Sir R. Peel on ,
Monday, on the course pursued by Ministers, it would
be found in the impotent and desperate attempt of the
partisans of the Administration to assign motives to
the Right Hon. Baronet by which it is not even pos-
sible that he could be actuated. No one really doubts
that the country at large feels a deeper interest in the
settlement of the question of Church rates, and the
other questions, immediately affecting the Dissenters,
which Ministers proclaim their intention indefinitely to
postpone, than i►► the Corporation Question, to which
Ministers mean to direct their immediate and chief at-
tention. No one really doubts that the former are of
far greater importance than the latter. No one doubts
that a judicious settlement of the former would pro-
duce greater benefits, and remove greater evils, than
any possible, or imaginable, settlement of the latter.
It is universally perceived that it is an enormous evil
for such a question as that of Church rates, or that
of the marriage of Dissenters, to be left in suspense,
while the harm is comparatively little of post-
poning any measure for the reconstruction of Corpora-
tions. In addition to all this, it is plainly seen that
Ministers might undertake the settlement of the former
with a tolerable chance of success, in consequence of
the assistance they would derive from the past labours
of their predecessors ; while on the subject of Corpora-
tions their failure is generally anticipated, not only
from the spirit in which they enter upon their task, but
from the difficulties by which it is surrounded. Sir
R. Peel, then, in claiming for .the subject of Church
rates the earliest attention of Government, said no-
thing but what every impartial and intelligent man in
the country, whether Churchman or Dissenter, is
ready to confirm. He recommended the course which
he would himself have pursued had he remained in of-
fice, and in which lie would have succeeded. But what
chance have the present Ministers to succeed in the
course they have adopted ? The Commissioners whom

they appointed to inquire nitb- ne character and the af-
fairs of the Corporations of the kingdom have not been
able, after devoting 2 years to the subject, to agree either
as to the facts which exist, or as to the principles
which ought to govern any change that may be
attempted. They must be of a very sanguine tempe.
rament, indeed, who expect that Lord Melbourne's
Ministry will speedily settle a question which their own
Commissioners have left in so much obscurity, and
to which Ministers, by their own confession, resort,
not so much in the hope of settling it advantageously
for the country, as of finding it an advantageous field
for a party battle, to which they may challenge their
opponents, and in which they seem to dread nothing so
much as that they should not encounter enough of
opposition. Sir Robert Peel's advice to them is what
would be given them by their friends, if they had any
friends but such as are imbued with party spirit. He
says, " Attempt what will be eminently and un-
equivocally useful, and what you may reasonably
expect to accomplish, and postpone the question,
since you must postpone something, on which your
own appointed Commissioners of Inquiry have not
been able to agree." This advice, however, they
will not adopt. What is useful and easy they despise.
They are determined to rush upon difficulties, and, we
suppose, to vanquish them. The event will show
whether Sir Robert Peel's admonition to them might
not have been listened to with advantage. The allega-
tions that Sir Robert Peel is attempting to gain the
favour of the Dissenters, and that, for party purposes,
he wishes to protect the abuses and defects of Corpora-
tions, scarcely merit a reply. With the sober-minded,
and conscientious Dissenters Sir R. Peel need not
wish to ingratiate himself. They already know his
value. The support of the political Dissenters he
cannot hope, and probably has no desire, to obtain.
In the defects and abuses of Corporations Sir R. Peel
and his political adherents have no interest. Corpo-
rations cannot be improved, cannot become. wiser,
purer, more useful, or more patriotic than they are,
without becoming at the same time more zealous and
determined supporters of such an Administration
(whenever ttre country may again possess one) as that
of which Sir Robert Peel was lately the head.--
Morning Post.

We noticed on Saturday the very extraordinary and
inconsistent_ conduct of Lord John Russell, with re-
ference to the Registration of Voters' -Bill. Out of
office his Lordship refused to refer the Bill to a select
committee; in office he at once proposes to send it a
select committee. Of course this is only part and parcel
of the discreditable game which the Whig Ministry are
pursuing—namely, the abandonment of all measures
of Reform, after getting themselves snugly installed in
office by means of the false pretence that they had
better measures of Reform in embryo than the Mi-
nisters they displaced were capable of bringing forth.
So far as regards this measure—the Registration of
Voters Bill—may not the device of Lord John Rus-
sell be turned to good account ? We think it may.
The measure is founded, or supposed to he founded,
upon communications made from the revising barristers
to the Government. Those functionaries were very
properly invited to suggest any alterations in the
machinery of the Reform Act which might occur to
them in their experience of the working of that part of
the Act as originally framed. When the Grey or
Melbourne Government were asked whether they
would lay these suggestions of the Revising-Barristers
on the table of the House, either Lord 4.lthorp or
Lord John Russell (we do not recollect which of
them) answered in the negative, declaring, if we re-

member rightly, that " they were in the nature of
private communications." It is not easy to under-
stand how public officers paid out of the public purse,
and thus called upon to suggest alterations in the mere
machinery by which an Act of Parliament is carried
into effect, could have made any communications to the.
Government " in the nature of private communications."
At all events, if these documents be not producible to the
House and the public, there can at least be no possible
objection to laying them before the Select Committee to
which the Bill is referred, and whose deliberations will
be private. On the contrary, we think the Committee
bound to call for these papers ; because it is their busi-
ness to avail themselves of all means for making the
measure as perfect as possible ; and we hope the Com-
.

mittee will insist upon their production, in order to
show, that though intended as a mere Committee of
form, though appointed for no other purpose than to
give the colour of reality to Lord John Russell's time
for gaining time, they will lend themselves to no such
purposes, and that if Lord John has too anany irons
in the fire, they are not the men to be made his eat's-

paws to take any of them out--especiallv as the num-
ber of irons this Ministry said they had, in the: fire
constituted the chief ground for ousting the' fast Go-
vernment. Besides, the mode in which Lord John
Russell is in the habit of framing measures is much
better known than approved. Take, as an instance, the
case of the Dissenters' Marriages, and compare his
mode of proceeding towards a satisfactory adjustment
of that question with the mode adopted by Sir Robert
Peel. The measures produced—the Bill of Sir Robert
Peel and that of Lord John Russell—are agreed upon
all hands to be no more comparable things than the sun
and a farthing tushlight—or (where there is about as
much disparity) than the respective talents and abili-
ties of the authors of the measures. We speak only of
the course which each pursued with the view of arriv-
ing at the same end. Lord John Russell thought pro
per to draw upon his own resources, and instead of
consulting the wishes of those who were to be satisfied,
he thought only of contenting himself. No doubt he
succeeded ; but it is notorious that the Bill he brought
forward was scouted with contempt and scorn. On
the other hand, Sir R. Peel collected together, from the
petitions of the Dissenters and from other sources, their
own statements of their grievances, and their own pro-
posals for the redress and removal of those grievances.
Those proposals of the Dissenters Sir R. Peel adopted,
and consequently removed the grievances complainedof.
Now, may not Lord J. Russell have taken the same nar-
row, opiniated, and unsatisfactory view in framing this
measure for the registration of voters which he took in the
formation of a Dissenters' Marriage Bill ? In any case is it
to be taken for granted that he has not, in the absence of
the documents to which we have alluded, the suggestions
of the Revising Barristers ? It must be quite obvious
to every one that into the discussion, of such a measure
as this to amend the law for the registration of voters,
no party-feeling should be allowed to enter. It ought

.o be, and we doubt not will be, the object of the vast
majority of the House to make it as good a measure as
experience, ingeniously and honestly applied, can
make it. We entertain the same desire, and are there-

fore exceedingly anxious that no means should be
neglected which may tend to the perfecting of the Bill.
For his own convenience Lord John Russell has sent
it before a tribunal whose investigation he was but a
few weeks since particularly careful to avoid ; and thus
an opportunity is afforded, not only for examining into
the grounds of its enactments, but also for inquiring if
some suggestions of improvements have not been
neglected by its framer, who seems to think his own
views more valuable than those of all the world
besides, and who has given the strongest proof that he
carries his self-love and his self-opinion to so great an
extent, as actually to persuade himself that he knows
better than the man who wears it where the shoe
pinches.—Times.

MRS. SHELLEY'S NEW NOVEL "
" Mrs. Shelley's former novels, if we may so call them," ob-
serves the Atlas, " did not prepare us for such a work as this.
The wild and fantastic spirit of Frankenstein' indicated a
genius that loved to dwell in the regions of the supernatural,
the terrible, and the grand. Lodore' is of an entirely dif-
ferent complexion. It betrays its origin only in the poetical
feeling that pervades it, in the reurAable delicacy of its style,
and the truth and beauty of its descriptive passages. The
paramount spell of this dl!',ightful work lies in its minute and
faithful delineation of the feelings of love. Under several
aspects the passion is treated with equal truth and sensibility.
The broken extracts we have given will merely serve to index
the character of the work, rather than to afford a fair example
of its truth. The reader must take the whole and follow it to
its conclusion, if he would test its exquisite fidelity to nature.,
We must be satisfied with a general tribute, to its great power
and poetical truth."

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY $7, 1835.

This evening, Kr. O'CONNELL will move in the
T-louse of Commons for leave to bring in a Bill for
the establishment of Poor Laws in Ireland. This
famouncement affords us the sinf!erest gratification, as
Ave have been long of opinion that nothing was wanted
bat the cordial co-operation of the lion. and Learned
Gentleman, and those who are in the habit of voting
v.'ith him, to induce the British Parliament to perform
this act of frigid justice to the destitute pauper po-
lmlation of that distracted country. We will not stop
:o inquire what were the motives which with-
Ileld -Mr. O'CONNELL from adopting this humane
-policy at an earlier, period of his political life—we will
take it for granted that he was influenced by the purest,
and, in his judgment, the most patriotic views and in-
2->ntions ; and that the recent change in his opinions
()Iv this subject is the result of a closer scrutiny, and
a more extensive inquiry. It is rather hard to under-
stand how a man of Mr. O'CONNELL'S penetration,
azacity, and comprehensive grasp of mind, could have
rt•mained so long ignorant of the fact, that a well de-
v'ssed system of poor laws, was absolutely a preliminary
measure to the tranquillization of Ireland : but at the
eune time, it would be equally difficult to conceive
r.r,y rational motive which he could have in with-
Lolding such a boon from his countrymen. This being
enc, case, it is less uncharitable to presume him igno-
rant than interested. Mr. O'CONNELL'S arguments
ai;ainst Poor Laws were all drawn, if we remember
his speeches rightly, from the abuse of the Poor-law
:kitem in England—forgetting, at the same time, that
physical difference in the condition of the two
c,,untries was the main cause of these abuses.

But, leaving the question of Mr. O'CoNNELL's
_•rsonal opinions for after-consideration, let us at
,ce see what would be the immediate effect of Poor
aws in Ireland ; and in what wpy they would operate
p_k, regards this country.

The introduction of a system of Poor Laws into
7.!tland would lead to the establishment of manufac-
-I,tres ; the making of canals, railroads, and other public
rorks ; the reclaiming of wastes ; and the active em-
•.:oyrnent of the productive wealth of the country :
t:-,us providing an abundance of remunerating labour
f;r the working classes.

2. Such a system, by entitling the poor to a legal
lneintenance, wool d eactua:ly died:, and finally ex-
t..rrninate, agrarian outrage, and the destruction of
roperty ; for the poorest persons would then have an
Lterest in the preservation of the wealth of the corn-
) ;unity ; whereas at present they are rendered reckless
I," the hard-heartedness of an absentee aristocracy,
;--ad the want of legal-protection against starvation.
3. Poor Laws, by providing employment for the Irish
Ll:ourers, would diffuse among them the blessings of edu-
...tion—raise their moral character—establish and con-
:An habits of industry, cleanliness,and domestic economy,
:•.;(1 by bringing them into social intercourse with the
more enlightened inhabitants of the country, divest
tir2ir minds of those absurd and ridiculous prejudices
I. hick may be numbered with the causes of the low
ate of moral feeling which prevails among the un-
clucated classes in Ireland.

1. Poor laws, by tranquillizing the country, and
(-ailing forth its vast resources, would improve the
v,:hle of all descriptions of property in Ireland. An
c-;tate which now produces a rental of one thousand
) 73unds annually, wrung from miserable cotters, would,
li:fore the expiration of five years, produce a rental
of ten times that amount, collected from an orderly,
idustrious, and happy tenantry. Every stream ca.
rable of turning a mill would be employed in in-
creasing the national wealth—every mine from which
r. pound of ore could be extracted, would be opened
- —every waste, morass, and bog would be drained—
c:pital would circulate freely throughout the country,
tad Ireland, instead of being a by-word of reproach
PI the mouth of Europe, would soon, under proper
icanagement, become the right arm of Great Britain,
itstead of what she now is, a clog upon her move-
ri lents, and a living evidence of the blind selfishness of
1,.;r Legislature.
Thus far with respect to Ireland and her people.
With regard to England, the benefit would hardly be
1 ss signal. On an average, the annual expenditure
a England for the removal of Irish paupers to their own
ountrY exceeds half a million sterling ! This immense

sum would be saved ; and, what is of ten times more im-
portance to the nation, the English labourers would
not be contaminated by being'forced into an assoeia-
,
tion with men reckless from oppression, and too' ready
to impute all their sufferings to the dishonesty of the
Government. The injustice arising from a competi-
tion for labour with these poor fellows we pass over,
although it is well known to cause much suffering
and deep-settled discontent among the English day-
labourers.

Besides these advantages, the growth of commercial
industry in Ireland would place that country in a con-
dition to furnish her quota to the public revenue of the
United Kingdom. At present she is not able to sup-
port herself, and consequently cannot contribute to the
maintenance of the national honour, either at home or
abroad. The fault, however, is not her's, but that of
Great Britain, who has constantly opposed the esta-
blishment of a compulsory provision for the Irish poor.
Let no one attempt to say that our ancestors were in-
fluenced by other than the most selfish, bigotted,
and narrow-minded motives, in opposing the esta-
blishment of Poor Laws in Ireland. They feared
to raise up commercial rivals in the Irish people,
for they knew well that the first effect of such
laws would be to compel the landed gentry to pro-
vide remunerating employment for the destitute poor;
and as the cultivation of lands, where provisions were
cheap, and money dear, could not always afford a
remunerating profit after supporting the labourer, re-
course would be had to commercial speculations, and
t;tse introduction of manufactures. This is a sample
of the C'sd6:l9 of our ancestors—a wisdom which has
produced thf:e
centu,-L-s of misery in Ireland—estab-
lished associations for the negt ruction of property—
forced the Aristocracy to iuit the country and 160:.'Ome
the denizens of other nations_ "moralized and degraded
the people by rendering pauperism not c;:_ily endurable, but
enlisting in support of it the kindliest svrritnathies of
our nature—and driven forth the poor as outcasts, to
roam the world in quest of what God and Nature gave
them adequate means of producing—food. The
hour of retribution has, however, come at last, and
England now feels that injustice to Ireland is one of
the principal causes of the growing misery and demo-
ralization of her own population. They must have
beeri either very ignorant or very unjust politicians
who first conceived, or pretended to be persuaded, that
the glory of England could not be made to co-exist
with the prosperity of Ireland. On the contrary, it
must be apparent to every rational being, that it is the
interest of this country to promote, by every means in
her power, the welfare of Ireland.

As we know nothing of the details of the plan which
Mr. O'CONNELL proposes to bring forward, we will
confine ourselves to these general observations on the
subject, till after he has obtained leave to bring in his
Bill. We expect that it will be sufficiently com-
prehensive, and, in its compulsory clauses, sufficiently
imperative to oblige the Irish Aristocracy, as the only
means of preserving any part of the rental of their es-
tates, to set about providing employment for the
working population. Ireland cannot suffer from the
operation of Poor Laws—if her vast internal resources
be employed—so long as she can produce more food
than is necessary to the support of her inhahitants.
It is only when the numbers to be fed exceed the
agricultural means of supplying them ; when, as in
England, foreign granaries are closed against the fa-
misl►ing applicants for bread, that Poor Laws well
administered cease to be a blessing to a country.

Those who are delighted to see trickery and false-
hood exposed and baffled, will be highly gratified by
the discussion which took place last night in the
House of Lords. Never was poor Reynard more
faithfully tracked, or more completely foiled in all his
doublings and artifices, by the staunchest hound, than
the Bishop Of EXETER was by Lord BROUGHAM.

The Right Rev. Prelate must, we think, by this time, be
pretty well convinced that a man may be a successful
pamphleteer, without being able to carry everything
before him in the House of Peers. About six weeks
ago, this consistent champion of the Protestant cause
stated that he had a petition to present from an Irish
Clergyman, charging two of the Commissioners ap-
pointed to enquire into t'he state of Education in
Ireland with " unfair and partial conduct," and
that he would lay it before their Lordships in
three days. Under various pretexts the presenta-
tion of the petition had been put off, until the
Commissioners, naturally uneasy under such a charge,
and unable to ascertain the particular acts of mis-
conduct of which they were accused, themselves pe-
titioned the House, praying that the charges should
be investigated. This prayer, it is evident, could
not be granted, as there is no power in the House
to compel the presentation of the petition in which
the charges are embodied. An opportunity was,
however, afforded Lord DUNCANNON of making
a statement of facts, which, while it exculpates
the Commissioners, is particularly valuable in another
point of view—namely, as throwing light upon the
working of the Ecclesiastical Establishment in Ireland.
The hatred entertained by the Catholics towards the
Protestant Church is constantly dinned in our ears,
and always brought forward as an unanswerable argu-
ment in favour of the ascendancy principle. This
hatred, it is said, is so inveterate and so unreasonable,
that in spite of all endeavours to conciliate, there is no
possibility of Catholics and Protestants living together
in peace and harmony, and unless the Catholics
are kept down by penal laws, the Protestants will be
exterminated. Now let us look for a -moment at
the spirit of conciliation displayed by the Rev. W. B.
STONEY, Rector of Burishoole, and if we are to take him
as a sample of the Protestant Clergy of Ireland—as
the index of clerical feeling towards the Catholics, let
us cease to wonder that the latter are not in love with

Protestantism.
The Commissioners, in the regular discharge of
their duties, sent round to the clergymen of the dif-
ferent parishes certain questions relating to public in-
struction, to which they required answers before
they visited the parishes for the purpose of personal
investigation. One of these questions was—" How
often in each week or mouth, or on what days, is
Divine service performed therein (the Catholic chapels)
respectively ?" To this question the Rev. W. B.
STONEY replies in the following terms :—" It is a
horrid abuse of language to call the worship of
wooden crosses, pictures, relics, and wafers, Divine
Another question was—
