the poor man, the Catholic Association is made a power be,
youd the low by the very system he is upholding. The pre•
sent distraction of Ireland, the past distraction of Ireland, all
follow from the principle of ascendancy and corresponding
degradation. It is an odd way of arguing to make the
anarchy and the distraction which flow from a principle a
reason for the upholding of that principle. The affairs of
the empire are in a critical condition. If the Duke of
Wellington wishes to avail himself of the cold-blooded in-
sohnee of the proudest aristocracy of Europe, that of Eng.
land, and the mass of baseness and stupidity which they
can command, to disappoint the expectations of the liberal
and enlightened and disinterested part of the community,
there is no doubt he may easily be successful to his heart's
content. But if he have the heart to attempt the higher
object of rescuing his country from an imminent peril, he
may laugh the Brunswickers to scorn. We will not pre.
judge him but we cannot stifle our apprehensions for the
future. The Catholics of Ireland may consult only their
just resentment, and seize the (lay of England's danger to
aid in destroying the independence of this powerful Empire:
In that case we shall have been sold, basely sold, by a Wiwi
and avaricious Aristocracy, alarmed for the Tithes of the
Protestant Church of England, the only idea of Protest-
antism entertained by them. Lord Winctelsea was a
proper Coryphcetis for the Brunswickers. lie bellowed

We never addressed our readers with more sincere gra-

tificaticn.than we do this day—not because we have any
extraordinary and felicitous event to communicate to them,
but because we have been enabled to redeem the pledge,
and that most amply, which we gave yesterday, respecting
the meeting, whose proceedings occupy this day nearly the
whole of our columns. We said yeeterday, that if our ar-
ra.ogements succeeded we should he enabled to present to
our Readers a more Full and Complete Report than any
other Paper ; and we now appeal to our columns for proof
of the fulfilment of our pledge. We give a better account
than any other Paper can present, and we say this without
having had the opportunity of knowing what account they
may give. The Speech of Mr. Steil is given word for
word as it was spoken ! Into any detail of the arrange-
ments which enabled us to surpass our eotemporaries in
this respect it is not neaeseary to enter; and if we bad
time we have na spice to do it. Rot it would be mo,t
ungenerous not to state, that we are greatly indebted for the
whole to the enterprising spirit, superior management, and
honourable co-operation of our evening cotemporary, The
State—a paper which ham made greater efforts to procure
for its readers the earliest intelligence on all subjects of ge-
neral interest, than any other whatsoever, and with which
we ate frank enough to state that we combined on tbisocca-
lion, in order to lay before our readers a more full, accurate,
and satisfactory report, than we could have procured by any
other means. Our conjunct exertions have succeeded. Relays
of saddle and coach-horses, to the amount of nearly fifty, were
placed to answer the different expresses which it might be ne-
cessary to transmit to us, at every six miles, in order to re-
lieve the one or the other, as might be found requisite ; and
such was the expedition on the part ofthe Editor of the SUN,
that at the time we are now writing, that Paper must he
published more than a hundred miles from London, and will,
to-morrow morning, be read in Dublin by upwards of a
thousand Members of the Catholic Association ! The Re-
solution of the Meeting, it will be seen was against Ca-
tholic Emancipation ; at least the Sheriff declared it to be
so, and we must therefore believe that it was; but it is
said that the numbers were for granting Emancipation,
and that if the votes bad been regularly counted, the result
would have been different. We shall, however, refrain
from any remarks on this subject at present, and leave our
readers to judge from ..he report on which side the argu-
ments were strongest. We cannot, however, conclude
this brief notice without bearing testimony to the honour-
able co-operation of the Editor of the SUN in the matter
of the report. An hundred pounds were last night
offered for a copy of that paper or of the report which it
contained ; but the offer was scouted, and the parties in-
formed that they must overtake the Dublin Alail before
they could procure in—Morning Advertiser.
The Kent Meeting took place yesterday, and we cannot
too warmly congratulate the country upon the character
of the proceedings and the glorious and happy result.—
Never did a more important duty devolve upon the Free-
holders of an English county than that which the Men of
Kent ,-ere on this occasion called upon to discharge.—
Never did Englishmen more honourably and perfectly dis-
charge their duty. The source of this stupendous dis-
play of the virtue, and intellect, and power of the nation,
lay deep in the hearts and consciences of eur country-
men. They always know the value of the advantages
which the British Constitution bestows upon all who
have the happiness to live under its sway. They have
always been ready to defend it. Nothing was required
but that this beneficent Constitution should be seen to be
in danger to produce the magnificent and sublime spectacle
which was yesterday exhibited, of a Nation prompt, zealous,
and determined, to protect and uphold the venerable insti-
tutions to which it owes its happiness, its freedom, and
its prosperity. This triumphant manifestation of the
feelings of one of our greatest, most wealthy, and most
enlightened counties, puts an end at once and for ever to
the delusive notion which it has been so long and so sedu-
lowly attempted to impose upon the country, that the essen-
tial and unalterable Protestantism of the British Govern-
ment was a principle to which a large proportion of
the Nation lied become indifferent. This delusion has
already produced incalculable evils. It has given to the
enemies of the Constitution audacity and vigour, and in-
fused timidity and weakness into the deliberations and efforts
of its friends. The delusion, fortunately, is now at an end.
It has fled before the loud and patriotic voices of the Alen
of Kent, whose sentiments will speedily be re-echoed from
every other County in England. The deep and- lasting
gratitude of tke country is due to the distinguished indivi-
duals who thut led the way to the expression of the Na-
tional Will, The founders of the Kentish Brunswick
Club have acquired an unquestionable title to he counted
henceforth among the most eminent benefactors of their
country and of mankind. We owe it to them that
we are ileev enabled proudly to defy contradiction,
when we proclaim the great and important truth, that the
people of England are united as one man in the determina-
tion to defend against all assailants the glorious Coastitu-
tion ef their country in Church and State—are fully con-
scious of the inestimable blessings they have derived from
it—glow with one nniveteal feeling of indignation against
those who would undermine or assault it—and with one
generous eesolution to transmit to their posterity unim-
paired the splendid inheritance which their ancestors
purchased,
with so moch toil, and suffering, and
blood. How closely the 'enemies of the Protestant
Constitution of England dung to the delusive notion
that some considerable portion of the British people
entertained sentiments congenial with their own,
may be inferred from the fact that the founders of the
Brniis-aick Constitutional Club of the county of Kent were
challenged, positively challenged, by their opponents, to
try the relative etrennth of the two parties in an open
County Meeting. The challenge was of course gladly ac-
cepted, end in the proceedings of yesterday we see the
glorious end decisive issue. The appeal of the enemies of
the Constitution has been heard--for the appeal was
theirs—and their chosen tribunal has pronounced a final
and irrevocable decree, convicting them at ones of insigni-
ficance, presumption, and imbecility. We have at present
neither time nor space to recapitulate the admirable and
unanswerabi arguments used by the. constitutional'
speakers on this occcsion, and must therefore beg to call
the serums attention of mg readers to the report in our
preceding columns, particularly to the able and excellent
sr evil of the Earl of Winebilsea, which was heard with
delight, and croweeat with universal and deafening shouts
of applause.—Morning Post.

dote :—When the famous Tito NI SON, author of
Sea-
sons," had his Tragedy, called
performed at Drury-lane Theatre, several friends joined
Mr. Sir.ItIDAN to entreat Turomsox to shorten speechet
which they foresaw would weary the audience ; but they
offended the poet, without.effecting their purpose. GAR-
IitiCK, -who played the part a " Tancred," listened, and said
nothiog; but at rehearsals, though apparently perfect in
his part, continued occasionally to take the prompter's
copy, and read. The first night, however, without a
whisper of his intention, curtailed his own part
wherever hia judgment directed, and the applause he re-
ceived was great ; while Mr. SHERIDAN and other actors,
who hail long and tedious parts, laboured on with great
difficulty. The conduct of grAultlca saved the piece;
and THOMSON, though enraged when he heard the first
omissions, returned Gaantex, in the etl, hia hearty
thank,.
