THE SUN LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1835.

have a resident gentleman with a black coat maintained
at the public expense in every parish of Ireland. We
have no objection to the coat of a gentleman, but we
have an objection to maintain him merely for his
coat. Mr. Fowell Buxton said, " ,he should like
to see the experiment tried of a body of men who, if
they entered the ,ministry, could enter it from no
other motive than from a desire of doing their duty.
Experience had proved that those other human and
worldly means had been ineffectual ; but it was riot in
human nature to resist the influence of men who,
exercising the utmost self-denial, living in decent pri-
vacy, and showing, by acts of charity, and by what
might be called the visible eloquence of a virtuous
life, demonstrated that their exertions were directed to
the attainment of something better in the life to come."
Whoever would draw over converts to Protestantism in
Ireland, can only hope for success by following the
course so eloquently described by Mr. Fowell Bux-
ton. The celebrated John Wesley, whose deep
insight into human nature no man will question, and
whose success, as a founder of a numerous and well-
cemented religious community in England and Ame-
rica, gives so much weight to his views with regard to
the means of making religious converts, actually ad-
dressed to the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland a plan
in accordance with the views of Mr. Fowell Buxton,
printed in vol. 15. of his works, edition 1812, which
he entitles " A short Method of converting all the
Roman Catholics in the Kingdom of Ireland." Mr.
Wesley, who visited Ireland again and again, and had
seen with grief that the Establishment in Ireland was
utterly inefficient, that " few Papists were brought
over to our Church, while many Protestants were se-
duced from it," saw that the cause of the failure lay in
the Protestant Clergy.
" There is one way, and one only, says he, one that will
(not probably, but) infallibly succeed. The grand difficulty
of the work lies in the strong attachment of the Papists to
their clergy. Here, therefore, we are to strike at the root;
Now, this may be effectuallyf done thus. The Papists them-
selves allow that one set of clergy were holier and wiser than
their own, namely, the Apostles. They allow these both to
have lived and preached better than the present clergy, even of
the Roman Church. Here, therefore, is the short and sure
method. Let all the clergy of the Church of Ireland only
live like the Apostles, and preach like the Apostles, and the
thing is done. * * They were temperate in all things.
They denied themselves, and took up their cross daily. They
' kept under their bodies, and brought them into subjection, even
in the midst of distresses and persecutions ; lest by any means
after they had preached to others, they themselves should be-
come cast-aways.' They were in every respect burning and
shining lights; they went about doing good as they had op-
portunity, doing good of every kind, and in every possible de-
gree, to all men. They abstained from all appearance of evil.
They overcame evil with good. If their enemy hungered,
they fed him ; if he thirsted, they gave him drink ; and by
patiently continuing so to do, heaped coals of fire upon his
head, and melted his hardness into love. Let every clergy-
man of our Church live thus, and in a short time, there will
not be a Papist in the nation."
Not a word here about resident gentlemen in black
coats, in the commission of the peace, sallying out at
the head of troops to levy their tithes, and leaving the
field of their operations covered with dead bodies. The
battle of Sir Robert Peel is precisely for that which
retards the progress of the Protestant religion in Ire-
land. He fights for the abuses of the Church : he
fought for the rotten boroughs, and he now fights for
the rotten parts of the Church. The people of Eng-
land do justice to his merits as a champion of the To-
ries, but they have no sympathy with his cause.—

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday the Justice-room-WasCiowded, to hear the
examination of some of the parties concerned in issuing
forged acceptances to a considerable amount ; and whose
disappearance excited some ferment in the city a few
days ago.
The respective attornies agreed to go into the case on
Wednesday next.
Mr. Alderman BIRCH said as they had agreed about the
adjournment, he saw no objection to it, and the prisoners
were remanded accordingly. •
The prisoners were apprehended by Inspector Busain, of
G division of Police, who, upon a very slight clue, went to
Belfast, and secured them on board a vessel on the point of
sailing for New York. They had only 70!. in cash and
notes about them. Their luggage consisted entirely of
apparel.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business.
Mr. PRIOR brought up the report of the committee, to which
the question of removing Temple-bar was referred.
The report stated that it was the opinion of the committee
that this only barrier of the city should not be removed.—
( Cheers.)
Mr. PRIOR was of opinion that the Court ought not to adopt
the report.

Mr: R. L. JONES said that the removal of Temple-bar would
be a very important public convenience as regarded foot pas-
sengers and vehicles.

Deputy WESTON declared that the bar was a standing
nuisance.

Mr. W. PRITCHARD said, that the question of the removal
originated in a petition, signed by a great number of the most
respectable inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood, who
had very serious groUnds of complaint.
Alderman T. Wool) stated, that two hundred and sixty
persons had solicited the Co►►rt to remove the nuisance. The
improvement would be to the extent of 7ft. Bin. in the im-
portant part of the junction between the City and county.
Sir PETER LAI'RIE said it would give him great pain to see
Temple-bar removed.

After some further discussion, the motion for the removal
of the bar was negatived by a majority of 14, the numbers
bei lg 48 and 34.

071 the motion of Mr. PRIOR, a petition for making a new
street from the Mansion House to the Southwark-bridge, and
for taking down the Globe fire-office in Cornhill, so as to im-
prove the approach to King William-street, was unanimously
referred to the London-bridge Committee.

CHARGE AGAINST THE CITY MARSHAL.
Mr. GALLOWAY brought up the report of the Committee
appointed to consider the charges against Mr. Brown, the
Upper Marshal, with respect to the late compromise with the
thieves who plundered Mr. Williams's shop in Cornhill. The
report stated that the Marshal's conduct was unwise and
repreheutsible, but there was not the slightest ground for im-
puting h him a corrupt motive. Mr. Galloway presided as
Chairman of the investigation, and stated that the Com-
mittee was• very fully attended, and had come to an una-
nimous opinion upon the matter. The course adopted
by the Court of -Aldermen in dismissing the Marshal
from the office of constable, and recommending his re
moral from that of Marshal, was extremely harsh and un-
just. The Committee had entered into the investigation with
the greatest care, anel although no doubt existed as to the in-
discreet conduct of the Marshal, nothing was more palpable
than the fact that there was no groutd for attributing a cor-
rupt motive to him at all. The Committee had thus come to
a decidedly adverse conclusion from that to which the Court
of Alderman' had arrived, and he was convinced that justice
would be done.

It was finally arranged that the consideration of the question
shou7d be postponed.
Mr. WIRE moved that the Court should petition both
Houses of Parliament for the repeal of the stamp duties on
newspapers, &c.

M. GALLOWAY seconded the motion, which was carried by
a large majority.—The Court then adjourned.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

ADVICES, ARRIVALS, ,AND DEPARTURES AT
THE SCOTCH WHARFS.—.FRIDAY, APRIL 3.
HOARE'S STEAM WHARP.—Arrived the Dundee, Perth,
and London Shipping Company's steam-ship Perth, John
Spink, Commander, from Dundee, with a very large and va-
luable cargo of linens, about 40 cattle and 180 sheep, and a
large quantity of highland mutton. She had about forty pas-
sengers.

DOWNE'S WHARF.—Advice : the Bloom, John Haverson,
master, sailed from Portsoy for London, 29th ult. No arrivals
or departures.
MILLER'S WHARF.—Advices : the Aberdeen and London
Shipping Company's smack Nimrod, James Philip master,
arrived at Aberdeen the 30th ult. ; and on the 31st. ult., the
London and Edinburgh Shipping Company's smack Pilot,
George Howie master, arrived at Leith, both from this wharf.
Arrivals : the Aberdeen smack Duke of Gordon, Robert Dun-
can master, from Aberdeen, with goods and passengers; and
the Royal Sovereign, John master, from Leith, with a general
cargo and passengers.
ABERDEEN STEAM WHARF.—Advice: the Aberdeen steam-
ship Queen of Scotland, John Pearson master, arrived at Aber-
deen on the 31st ult

LEITH AND BERVVICK WHARF.—Arrivals : the Berwick
Shipping Company's smack Tweed, John Crow master, from
Berwick-upon-Tweed; and the Old Leith Shipping Com-
pany's smack, Walter Scott, Dick master, from Leith, both

POLITICAL SPORTING.—The great Appropriation
Steeple-chase between Justice, Peel, Prelacy, Corruption,
Waverer, Whig, Radical, Young Grey, Patriot, Partizan,
&c. &c. &c., " came off" at St. Stephens at so late an hour
yesterday as to prevent us from giving any of the particulars. The
country selected is perhaps the most dangerous in the world,
being compesed of giant-stone walls and of bogs, in which
more than one great man has perished. The fencing was fear-
fully severe, and more than one Member of the Derby-hunt, it
is apprehended, will not be able to take his seat again next
Season. One Gentleman we noticed who charged a Brook,
and sank never more to rise ; and the Hon. Mr. —, in
jumping at a conclusion, came in violent collision with a con-
stituency. If this Gentleman would keep his seat, he must
go to a borough where a cushioned saddle may be made on
purpose for him. It was, on the whole, one of the most inte-
resting steeple-stirrin&aces we everwitnessed, and we exceed-
ingly regret that we cannot at present do more than advert to
the very judicious and masterly manner in which Lbrd John rode
the race. His tact and discretion, his firmness and intrepidity,
exceed all praise. He took the lead on Justice, decidedly the
best horse to go on in all England, and kept it generally
throughout the race, coming up at the finish, and winning in
tl:e ineq brilliant style. It is observable that throughout the
whole race, one of Lae lon -est and most briskly contested on
record, that the Noble Rider had the see:- constantly
in his eye, and never for an instant lost sight of Resolutiee.
The Stakes, which are heavy, were given by his Lordship to
the starving peasantry of Ireland.
A French chemist states that the phosphate of
ammonia is a preventive against fire ; that a piece of muslin
dipped in a solution of this salt, after having been dried, will
not catch fire when exposed to the flame of a candle. The
muslin first becomes black, and is then reddened, but there is
no appearance of flame.—Atheneum. •
How TO LIVE BY THE LOSS.—It requires a cle-
ver fellow, in these days, to live by his profits ; but there is
a large community of clever fellows who are living by their
losses, and it seems to be a new principle in arithmetic, which
is rapidly gaining repute, that to reverse the figures, cast them
up endways, then upwards and downwards, divide them by
angles, take out all units, place them at the sides of other fi-
gures, then multiply the total by two, will be sure to give us
a capital balance on paper.—Slierborne Journal.
The different Nunneries which are starting up in
all quarters, for £he purpose of educating Irish females, appear
to have chosen a new course of instruction. In one of those
institutions, recently opened at Cabra, near Dublin, the ma-
trons and patronesses promise the pupils, that "no effort shall
be left untried, to make them so acquainted with the fitness of
things, that should circumstances permit them fairly (the word
is in italics in the advertisement) to rise in society, they will
naturally fall into their own places, and fill them with propriety,
ease, and dignity." This early initiation into the "fitness of
things," is no common advantage, even in the metaphysical
understanding of the phrase. It is no trifling mystery to lay
open to young curiosity.—Cork Herald.
ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.--On Thursday the
landlord of the Fox public-honse, near Lower Shadwell, ap-
peared before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Broderip to answer a
charge of assault preferred against him by Eleanor Dillon, his
servant-girl. The complainant, a native of Ireland, stated that
she had been in the service of the defendant between eight and
nine months ; and on Tuesday afternoon, while she was taking
care of his infant child, he told her to get ready to leave her
place, and brought another woman to take charge of the child.
His violence was so great that his sister-in-law interfered, and
shoved her down stairs. The master followed her, and brought
her up again by the hair of her head, and repeated his ill-usage
declaring be would not be satisfied until he had the Irish w—'s
life. Mr. Feather said' the statement of the girl was a tissue
of falsehoods. She was aiding and abetting the elopement of
his step-daughter with an Irish steward ; and that when the
complainant admitted her share in the transaction, he ordered
her to quit the house on Tuesday, previous to which he ascer-
tained that he had been robbed of 701., which he had no doubt
the steward took with him. As the complainant was about to
leave the house, he insisted on searching her box, suspecting
she might have some of the property. She refused to allow

said there was no doubt
the Irish steward would have stripped Miss Randall of every
thing, if she had gone to Ireland. He considered that Mr.
Feather had acted a praiseworthy part. Mr. Broderip said
there was no doubt the girl was privy to the elopement; and
it was natural that Mr. Feather should feel some resentment

after such a transaction. The story she had told appeared to
be an exaggeration, and as there was no evidence to support
it, except her own, the Bench dismissed the complaint, leaving
her to indict if she pleased.
SEVERITY OF THE WEATHER. The severe
cold experienced here appears to have extended itself in a di-
rection contrary to its natural course. The newspapers re-
ceived at our post-office from all parts of the South, were
frozen, and some large bundles so solid that an hour's expo-
sure before a laree fire was necessary to separate them ; while
those from the st received at the same time were opened as
in'the summer. On that day at Charleston, S. C., the ther-
mometer was only two degrees above zero. The harbour pre-
sented an unusual appearance, the salt water being frozen for
several hundred feet along the shore on South Bay, and along
the north beach of James Island.—The Charleston Mercury
says—" We have never experienced severer cold even at the
North ; and though the sun shone brightly yesterday, the
streets and the church were almost deserted. Water froze in
the sun, and in the most sheltered palces, throughout the
day." According to the Charleston Courier, wine, and per-
ter, in bottles,an in the Southern parts of houses, assumed a
solid the salt water in the docks and adjacent mill-
ponds, was extensively frozen. An aged inhabitant remarked
that he knew just such a day at New-York, in the year 1773,
but that he had never before experienced such a one in South
fm •In
Carolina. The editor of the Courier adds, we have fears
that this intensity of cold has proved fatal to human life in
many instances. Rumours of the death of one or two indivi-
viduals have reached us, but we have been unable to ascertain
particulars with sufficient accuracy to give them publicity..—

A serious accident befel John Limbert the elder,
bailiff, while escorting the carriage of Mr. Justice Littledale
from Loughborough on Friday night last. He was riding on
a pony near Birstall-house in front of his Lordship's carriage,
when the animal fell down and was trampled upon by the
horses, by which Limbert had his hip dislocated, and was
otherwise much injured. Mr. Justice Littledale being ap-
prised of the accident, immediately got out of his carriage,
ordered Limbert to be placed therein, and conveyed to the
infirmary, and then came on to Leicester on foot, accompanied
by an attendant, the distance which he had to walk being about
three miles.—Leicester Chronicle.

BURIAL. —ln the locality and arrangement of
places of sepulture, the French, and even the Turks, dis-
play a better feeling and juster taste than Englishmen. A
picturesque secluded spot, protected from intrusion, is always
selected by our Continental neighbours, whilst the remains of
our dead here are generally deposited in the most crowded
part of the metropolis, to spread noxious and mephitic vapours
among the surrounding population. It is a question, which
suffers most by this practice—our health or our cheerfulness.
