LONDON, TUr:SDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1850.

Sotre weeks since it was our painful duty to direct
the public attentio'l to a most mi•-,chievous and highly
infl,mmatory document, which bad been extensively
circulated among the tenantry of a property mbich
was about to be disi.vsed of under the provisions of
the Act for the Sale of Er:cumbered Estate. in Ire-
13nd. Tilis toaniftsv—which plsinly and distinctly
intimated that the law of the land would be set at
open defiance, that the rights of purchasers,
under the decree of a competent tribunal,
would be strenuouidy resisted, arid concluded
with rather a significant him', that the writer and his
retainers would, " during the short days and long
nights of winter, MEEKLY await at the old gateway
for the coming of the stranger"—vets the more objec-

tionable—we might add, the more incomprehensible—
from the quaVter whence it emanated. It was no
rude illiterate man, strongly imbued with local pre-
judices, and ignorant of the mighty power with
which he was about to enter into collision, thit
endeavoured to excite the passions of the people, and
to induce those who had been accustomed to
look up to himself and his forefathers for
instruction and advice, to join in the agrarian out-
rage which bad brought disgrace and ruin on so many
'districts in unhappy Ireland. It was, on the con-
trary, a person who by birth, education, and profes-
sion, was placed in a superior position. Asa barrister
at law, Mr. THOMAS O'BaxEsi, of Fairfield, could
not possibly have misunderstood the true character of
the act he was committing; •but when we consider
that he has already filled the important public situa-
tions of stipendiary magistrate in Ireland and of colo-
nial secretary at Sierra Leone, words are inadequate
to express our astonishment at the entire transaction.
In this strange document Mr. O'BRIEN declares,
that "not a farthing of English or Scotch capital
will be caught in the gambling and disgraceful
market held in Henrietta-street." That which he
terms " the grossest false pretence which ever accom-
panied any public measure," was undoubtedly one of
the objects of the Bill, and despite the denunciations
and diatribes of Mr. O'BRIEN, it is one which
will most unquestionably be accomplished. But i-
it not Mr. O'BRIEN himself; and persona of
a similar character who are preveutim,c, or endeavour-

ing to prevent, the influx of capital from other parts
of the empire ? Is it one of the tempting inducements
to a purchaser which should be prominently put for-
ward in the advertisements that the quondam pro-
prietor " has very great doubts whether the purchaser
will get quiet posse,sion ;" that he declares his inten-
tion of testing " the power vested in the auctioneers
of Henrietta-street," and that "he is not resisting law
but confiscation, not opposing the entrance of a law
officer, but a robber ?" It is not for nothing that
he promises the tenantry that they " shall have the
land at any valuation they please, and leases musT b'
vrantEd to tb most faith+ ul and loyal amongst them."
lirtiy, Mr. O'BRIEN is even more liberal than any one
of his ancestors, who during the four hundred years

they held the pr,perty never committed a " landlord
cruelty or even a neglect." His ability to discharge
the obligation is, however, more doubtful. Promise!,
are of but little value when the power of performance
is altogether wanting. They may, however, be suffi-
cient to prevail on the unfortunate and misguided
peasantry to join him in his " meek" watch for the
4tranger, and in giving the new corner a reception
much too warm to be agreeable, and are, therefore,
exceedingly mischievous, and to be deprecated by all
right-minded men.

But in sober earnest, for such a subject is by far
too serious to be even for a moment treated as
i jest, does Mr. O'Butert forget the position of
nis unfortunate creditors—of those who, having

advanced their money, have been long kept

without either principle or interest ? He may
feel deeply the severance of links that
nave existed for so many centuries ; but
what must be the feelings of those whose unquestion-
able rights have been so long withheld? How would
the case of Mr. o.l3atzx have been improved if the
obnoxious Act had never passed the Imperial Par-
liament? According to his own statement, his lia-
bilities amount to 13,0001. ; his property was for-
merly estimated at 17.0001. A gentleman who so
keenly feels that " property has its duties
as well as its rights " must be %ell aware that eve❑ in
'Such a case he could not treat his faithful tenants as
they deserved—" give them the lands on their own
valuation," " allow for improvements," or " grant
leases to the most loyal." These are acts which can
only be indulged in by unincumbered proprietors.
The embarrassed landlord is driven by his own
difficulties to greater harshness, and if Mr.
O'BaIEN is really actuated by the feelings
he professes, if he is willing "to stand
naked in the world, as when he entered it,
if his liabilities be only discharged," why should he
object to have as large a sum as practicable realised
for the benefit of his creditors ; or, if he desires to
promote the interest of his tenants, why should be
desire to deter a nobleman, whom he acknowledges
to be " one of the best landlords, and the most
unsullied private character in Ireland," from becom-
ing a purchaser or even a bidder at the approaching
sale ?

On this subject the following correspondence has
passed between Mr. O'BRIEN and the Earl of CLAN.

'ARTY:-....-

"24, Sonthville, Wandsworth, Oct, 18.

" My Lord,--home days hence, in a letter addressed
to my tenantry, I made mention of your Lordship's
name. The purport of that letter (a copy of which was
duly transmitted to your Lordship) announced my de-
termination to resist the sale of my properties under the
powers vested iu the Encumbered Estates Bill for Ire-
land. As the largest bidder fur one of my estates I had
necessarily to allude to your Lordship, but I trust with
that respect which I shall ever entertain for the intellec-
tual and moral attributes you so amply possess. As the
time approaches (early I-believe in November) when the
estates are again to be placed in the market, I think it
but due to the feelings I entertain towarus your Lord-
:hip, as well as to my own character, that I should learn
what course your Lordship purposes pursuing, and whe-
ther you will still lend the high sanction of your name
to euppurt the favourite messure of a Minister who dis-
played, during the last session of Parliament, when the
411eged interests of the savages of Africa were at stake,
a more obtrusive and petulant sympathy than his Lord-
ship ever exhibited—a well-grounded and rational sorrow
it the um- xAnple,i depression of the land, not only of
your birth but of your adcption.
" I have the honour to subscribe myself, your Lord-
ship's faithful servant,
" Tliomes O'BRIEN, late C.S. for Sierra Leone.
"Right Hon. Earl of Clancarty, Garbally.
" P.S. I shall look upon your Lordship's reply in
public light."
The following is his Lordship's reply :
" Garbally, Oct. 21.
_ _

" Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of yLur
letter of the 18th instant, as well as a printed copy of
an address to your tenantry, to which your letter refers.
" However unusual is the inqtfry you make relative to
'my intentions about bidding for your property when
next advertised to be sold by auction, I will answer you
to the best of my ability. I have not seen any adver-
tisement for the sale of Fairfield since the last sale was
set aside ; and until it is advertised, and the rental and
condition of the property are submitted tor public in-
spection, I cannot form a judgment whether,
supposing I should have at the time the m•-sney
to lay out, the investment would be eligible. Ut this,
flowerer, I may assure you, that appreciating your here-
di;ary and very natural attachment to a property so long
in your family, I shall gladly forego the consideration
of any convenience I might derive from the annexation
of the lands of Fairfield to my property adjoining, if
my again bidding fur them should stand in the way of
arrangements by which you might be enabled to resume
the possession and management of the property.
" With reference to the address to your tenantry, yru
will, I am 'ure, upon a re-perusal of it, excuse my de-
clinin turthtl. to notice it than to acknowledge its
r4.ceipt.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Thomas O'Brien, &Al." "CLA NCARTY.

The answer of his Lordship is that of a nobleman and
a gentleman. We only regret that Mr. O'BarEN's pro-
ceeding was not more in harmony with his former posi-
tion as a public servant, and with that which he still oc -
cupies as a barrister. Lord CLANCARTY declares that,
appreciating the hereditary and very natural attach-
ment to a property so long in the family, he will
gladly forego the convenience be may desire from
the annexation of the lands of Fairfield to his own
property adjoining, if his bidding for them should
stand in the way of arrangements, by which he
(Mr. O'BRIEN) might reserve the possession and ma-
nagement of the property. On calm consideration,
however, Mr. O'BRIEN must see that such an expec-
tation is altogether visionary, that no reasonable hope
can be entertained of such an event. Whatever
might once have been the value of his property, it
has suff,red from the general depreciation, and he
should, as an honest man, rejoice at the facilities
afforded by the new Act, which, by giving a clear,
perfect, and unimpeachable title to the purchaser,
increases the value of the lands, and, by render-
ing the cumbrous machinery of the Court of
Chancery unnecessary, leaves a larger sum
for divsion among the parties justly entitled,
taking it from lawyers to distribute among creditors.
We trust that on calm consideration Mr. O'BRIEN
will be inclined to disavow these incendiary publica-

tions, or at least to w.eribe them to some tetnp,rary

hallucination, of which he sincerely repents, anti fur
which he is anxious to rercler the only reparation in
his power—a firm determination henc forward to co-
operate with his muzh-4grieved creditors in procur-
ing them a speedy paNtuent on account of their re-
spective demands. The tropical sun cf Sierra Leone
must have heated his brain to the verge of 'insanity,
or be could never have been guilty of conduct which

LONDON,

11- himself must admit Lo be—sowhoily indefensible
and unwarrantable.

In another column will be found the answer of the'
Bishop of LONDON to the address of the Westminster
clergy ou the subject of the recent appointment by
the POPE of a Popish Archbishop of Westminster.
The Bishop of LONDON characterises this assumption
on the part of the POPE as a schismatic act,
which he trusts will not be quietly tolerated, and
he thus proceeds to advise the memorialists as to the
conduct which, in his opinion, they ought under
existing circumstances to pursue :
" With respect to the conduct proper to be pursued by
you on this occasion, it ought in my opinion to be tem-
perat,. and cbari!able, but firm and uncompromising.
" You will do well to call the attention of your people
to the real purport of this open assault upti our B--
formed Church, and to take measures for petitioning the
Legislature to carry out the principle of the statute which
forbids all persons, other than the persons authorised by
law, to assume or Ilse the name, style, or tile of any
archbishop of any province, bishop of any bishopric, or
dean of any deanery in England or Ireland, by extend-
ing the prohibition to any pretended diocebes or deaneries
in these realms...

" It is possible that such prohibitions might not have
the effect of preventing the assumption of wits by the
Papal bishops, when dealing with their own adherents;
but it would make the assumption unlawful; and it woul.
mark the dattlmination of the peoplo of this country nt
to permit any foreign prelat.) to exercise spiritual juri, •
diction over them.

" But dure ire other du:ies besides those of protest

log and petidoning, the performance of which seems to
oe specially requiied of us by the present emergency•
Unwilling as lam to encourage controversial preach-
ing, I must say that we are driven to have recourse
to it by this attempted usurpation of authority on the•
part ot the Bishop of &•me, and by the activity and
subtlety of his emissaries in all parts ot :the
kingdom. We are surely called upon for a more than
ordinary measure ot watchfulness and diligence in tui-
fillivg the promise which we gave when we were ad.
•pitted to the priesthood—' to tatiish and drive away
all erroneous and strange doctrines, contrary to God's
Word.'

Ldt us be careful, as well in our public' mi
- -

iistraions as in our private monitions and exhortations.
i refrain from doing or saying anything which mu)
,eem to indicate a wish to make the slightest approJci.

petied us to separate from it, is now re-assertirw, then,

Jon ; is adding niw credendu to its articles of faith,

-lid is uudispise-tily teaching its tnemb rs the duty of
worshipping the creature with the worship due only to

This is all very excellent advice, but it does not
go far enough. The Bishop of LONDON does not
4o to the root of the evil. With the declaration ot
the Univers, the avowed, the cherished, the petted
organ of R,imanism before us, that " Protestantism
inust be put down by force of arm4"—a declaration
wade by this journal, the journal of MM. DE FAL-
LOUX and DE MONTALEMBERT, no longer ago than
Sunday last, it would be madness on the part of any
one who values the name of Protestant not

to adopt every measure possible to strengthen
our defences against the threatened attack,
and the first and most important of those mew
-tires is to at once expel from the camp every traitor
and spy. The Roman Catholic obscurantis's are
themselves aware of the infinite importance of educa-
tion, and how utterly impossible it is to rivet the
chains cf sacerdotal despotism around the necks of an
educated people. Their proceedings in regard to the
Queen's Colleges in Ireland show the reek-
Itss spirit of hatred by which they are
actuated. Sir ROBERT KANE, himself a
Roman Catholic, and one who, from his pobition, it
perhaps better fitted than any other to speak on the
-object, thus describes the effects produced by the

reaching in those institutions, which the obscurantists
,nave the blasphemous mendacity to denominate
" Godlwss Colleges :"
" I appeal," said he in his opening address, " to the
Lxperience of the parents and guardians of students,
whom here present in such numbers I have the honour
to address, and demand if there be any parent who
has found his son to be injured in morality or
religion by having last year studied in this college?
—(Applause.) I ask, if in the conduct of the
students or authorities of this college, known to so many
there, the principles of morality have been violated,
or religion outraged? Was it the influence of infidel
institutions which had induced the Roman Catholic btu-
tients at this college to fulfil the strictest roligtous duties
in a proportion such as has been almost unknown i❑
young men of similar ages? Were those the results of
Godless colleges ?"
Such are the institutions which are denounced
by those who have recently assumed to exercise terri-
torial authority in this Protestant realm of England,

and who show the importance they attach to corrupt-
ing education where they cannot stifle it by their

unceasing endeavours to establish in Ireland
colleges where science shall be taught after
the theories of Dr. PAUL CULLEN, and charity
inculcated.,by.the example of Dr. JOHN ISPLIALE.
The organizers of the crusade against Protestant-
ism thus demonstrate the importance they attach
to the subject of education. None but a devoted slave
of the Roman PONTIFF will they suffer to have art or
part in the matter ; while we, on the con-
trary, knowingly permit those who are
teachers in our universities to pervert the minds of
the youths placed under their charge by teaching
Popish legends instead of Protestant truth, and thus tc
recruit the forces of Rome by perverting Protegan-.
youth, they themselves being all the while in th-,
receipt of emoluments derived from Protestant
foundations. Surely there must be some •
thing wrong in the constitution of that Uni-
versity which permits a man like Dr. PUSEY,
who has been actually condemned for false doctrine,
to continue teaching as a professor within its pre-
cincts. In addition, therefore, to the steps recom-
mended by the Bishop of LONDON, we would
recommend all true Protestants to memo
rializs the Government and the Universit.,
authorities, beseeching them to take steps to purge
the Universities of all those who "repudiate the name
of Protestant."

Some weeks since we directed the public attention
to the evidence taken before the Deputy Coroner of
the County of Middlesex, and a jury empannolled, to
inquire into the circumstances attending the death of
a young man named JAMES GEARY, which was alleged
to have been occasioned by the brutal and unnecessary
violence with which he had been treated by two police-
constables some time previously. On that inquiry,
there appeared to be no controversy respect-
ing the facts. Many witnesses were pro-
duced, all of whom deposed to the atrocious
conduct of the policeman, and to the extraordinary
quietness of the unfortunate young man, who hart
been guilty of no offence to warrant such gross ill-
usage as he was said to have received from two of
the appointed conservators of the public peace. There
was no rebutting testimony—no policeman tendered
his evidence to show that the proceedings were ren-
dered necessary, or were in any degree justified by
the circumstances of the case. It, was distinctly
and positively sworn by Moan's GEARY, a brother
of the deceased, that "in the charge-room, and
whilst on their way to the cell, his brother
1 and himself had been knocked about by one of the:
policemen (whom he identified). who repeatedly
struck them on the arms and faces, and finally Burg
them violently into the cell like dogs." This state-
ment, which could so easily have been contradicted,
as all the constables on duty at the station must have
been cognizant of what occurred "in the charge-
room,"was permitted to go to the jury with-
ou t
qualification or explanation of any descrip-
tion. 'The injuries receives by the deceased were
spoken to by a respectable medical prac:itioner,
and on that subject there could be no mistake. " The
right arm was very much bruised from the shoulder
to the wrist ; there was also a bruise on the right
side of the face, and a clot of coagulated blood on
the right ear. He likewise observed the marks of a
blow under the ear, which was a dangerous one from
its locality. The deceased complained of injuries in
other parts of his body, which the witness did not
think it necessary to examine." From this it was
tolerably clear that the staves had been freely used,
whether that proceeding could be justified or not
being another question. Sergeant BUSHELL, of the
D division of police, was pointed out as one of the
parties implicated, but his companion was not identi-
fied. The police kept whnly aloof; they would not
render any assistance, or throw any light on the
subject ; they neither came forward to explain who
was the coadjutor of Sergeant BUSHELL, or to de-
clare that there had been exaggeration or over-
' statement of the real facts. It was an inferior- tri-
, buns!, beneath the netice of " the force." Under these
circumstances, the inquiry was brought to a conclu-
sion, the Deputy Coroner, in his charge declared,
"that there was not the least doubt that the police had

exercised brutal violence towards the unfortunate de-

ceased," and the jury brought in a verdict of "Man-
slaughter" against Sergeant • BUSHELL, and at the
same time expressed their regret "at the inability of
the witnesses to identify the other constable Engaged
in the outrage on the deceased."
On Satuichy Sergeant BUSHELL was arraigned
before the Recorder on the coroner's inquisition, and
after a trial which lasted eleven hours was acquitted
of the grave charge. It is not our habit or desire at
any time to impugn the verdict which twelve men re-
turn on their oaths, more especially when they have
taken a merciful view of the case. We are well
aware of the humane maxims, that "it is better
that one hundred guilty persons should escape
than that one innocent person should be
unjustly punished," and that, " if there is any reason-
able doubt, the benefit of it should be given to the
accused." We are also bound to say that it was by
no means proved that the death of GEARY was occa-
sioned by the injuries he had sustained on the occa-
sion of his unfortunate collision with the police ; we
are therefore quite willing to admit that no other ver-
diet could have been . returned as to the charge of
aiLnsleughter. We do not, they,eintend in any
legree to impeach the decision of the jury when com-
meeting upon the extraordinary circumstances con-
,ected with the melancholy transaction.
The principal witness on behalf of the prisoner eras
Sergeant JAMES AUCEEW, of the same division, who
was, it appears, " the unidentified party." Sergeant
\FCaaw attended befun, the Coroner, but he made

nJ statement whwsoever. He did not then come
forward or allege that the deceased had made any re-
sistance to the capture, or declare that he himself, and
:Jot Sergeant BUSHELL, was the person who give
'he blows to the deceased. Indeed, it seems strange
that if the resistance was of so desperate and deter-
mined a character as described, that one of the con-
stables should have remained perfectly quiescent
while the other was compelled to strike so many
blows in their joint defence. Why were not the other
policemen, who flocked
" Thick rs it ayes on Vallambrosa,"

o give the benefit of their testimony to their comrade,
Jroduced before the Coroner? Was it because they
would have supplied the missing link in the
chain of evidtnce against Sergeant M'CREw, who in
such case would have been placed on his trial at the

same time with Sergeant BUSHELL ? There can be no
doubt if the good conduct of " the force" had not been
involved in the issue, there would have been no lack

of witnesses. Unfortunately, however, the police
exhibited a strange and unaccountable apathy on the
occasion, which is by no means satisfactorily explained
ay their recent activity.
It is also to be regretted that the evidence should have
been of so very conflicting a character as to make it
certain that there must have been wilful and corrupt
perjury on one side or the other. All the civilians
xamined gave one version, the constabulary another
and totally different one. According to ttie witnesses
fur the prosecution the unfortunate deceased was "a
very lamb," while " a tiger" would have been a more
correct designation .if the evidence of the
police was correct. It is at all times
unpleasant to find such grave contradictions
in the " witness-box." It is still more unsatisfactory
when the witnesses are of different classes, and the

depositions of one party are all one way, while those
the other are completely opposite and irreconcil-
,bl,.. On the whole we cannot say that we are satis-
tied with the result, and we trust that the Commis-

sinners will institute a searching inquiry into the
entire transaction, and compare the evidence given on
the recent trial with that given before the police
magistrate, when the unfortunate deceased was dis-
charged from custody without being subjected to fine
or punishment of any description whatsoever.

INCONVENIENCES AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—A great
deal of inconvenience has been for some time felt and risk
encountered by the public in crossing from one side of
London-bridge to the other, in consequence of the enormous
traffic over it, and at last the Corporation have taken the
'natter of complaint into consideration. It has been proposed
by Mr. Dawson, one of the representatives of Walbrook
ward, to make for the public an easy and safe communication
between the east and west sides of the bridge by forming a
passage or tunnel seven feet high and eight feet wide through
or rather beyond, the abutment of the south or Surrey end
,}f the bridge, from the first landing of the steps on the east
side to the corresponding landing of the stops on the west
side. It is calculated that the passage or tunnel will also
prove of great convenience to the numbers of persons who
come up by railway to London-bridge and want to get into
the steam-boats for the west-end of the town, without the
hazard of their lives or limbs in crossing the bridge. Mr.
'sunning, the architect to the City, and Mr. Leach, the en-
gineer to the Thames Navigation Committee, have been re-
quested to ascertain the exact structure of that part of the
bridge through which the passage or tunnel is proposed to be
made, and it is believed that no engineering diZculties will
present themselves to the accomplishment of the object.
IMPORTED CRIMINALS IN NORTHUMBERLAND.—
During the last twelve months there have been 579 persons
committed to the county prison at Morpeth, and of these 97
only were natives of the county: During the same period
125 were tried at the assizes and sessions, and of these 19
only were Northumbrians.
We und,rstanci that Messrs. Clowes, the eminent
printers, in London, have obtained the contract for printing
the cat: for the 1851 Exhibition. They give a pre-
mium of 4,0001. for the privilege, and 2d. for every copy sold
towards the expense of the Exhibition. The catalogue will
be sold for ls. ; another catalogue will also be published,
which will be printed in several languages, and be sold for
Ws. We learn that yesterday 600 edditio,al hands were em-
ployed upon the building—making altogether 1,500.
THE DoDDINGBURbT MURDRIt.—The account of
he funeral ofJael Denney, and some further particulars as
to the awful affair, were published in our last. We also no-
ticed the general exaggerations and inventions of the Lou-
don press, without going minutely into them, but there is
one point which we have been requested positively to con-
tradict, as it seems to imply a want of feeling or neglect
against Mr. Hammond, the overseer. It was stated in
several of the London journals, and a Sunday paper com-
mented on it with much severity, that the corpse of the
murdered woman was removed from the dwelling and placed
in an outhouse or cattle shed. This is utterly false; the
body was never removed from the house into which it was
taken immediately on being
