• ENTITLED
HE LINCOLNSHIRE HERALD,
AND COUNTY ADVERTISER.
Pr~sited on an entire New Type, cast by Casio!' and Livermore.
Tile establishment of a Public Journal in the ancient City
of
Lincoln, the metropolis of the second county, in extent, in
~Lkingdoin, has long been a desideratum that was equally
Ted for by the central and commanding situation of te
and the want of a Public Record, expressly anhd
•4tinttly embodying the various local interests of the County,
rootedll form. This object could not indeed be
r in any other place, which had not the same imme-
cEl4te access to the principal sources of County Intelligence ;
ti, r in any ether situation the County interests must be
%
, sarily mixed up with, and rendered secondary to, a
"trecting variety of the conflicting claims of other districts.
Ile LINCOLNSHIRE HERALD is not conceived in any
11'44 of hostility to other Establishments, nor projected with
"Y views of opposition to other interests. Indeed there is no
`Lther Journal which can be materially affected by its ap-
pearance ; for the principal paper, published on the borders
*)fthe County, essentially repoSee on a wide extent of busi-
T'e's in various other important districts; and where tve
e.
at
t.) come in contact with a portion of the extensive circu-
,:,len of our opponent, we shall seek no further rivalry
the
tj'a parties than tkat of contending with them in the
ese of public utility ; and emulating them in the promo-
un of sound principles.
i The period at which the Editor will commence his labours,
nee of singular difficulty and importance, whether we
-lard the Foreign or the Domestic policy of the
p„t • The principles of a public Journalist are
Public:"a Ps best seen and appreciated in connection with
events as they transpire; for there is no mere
4 echisin of political maxims that can embody all the va-
nlis colours of opinion which attach to the character of
u: times. He must be a sorry politician who could hope,
4 "pot consecrated to so many affecting recollections in
,p,
National History, to promulgate aught of those wild
t id viaienary doctrines, which have in different periods of
It° last thirty years shaken the repose of so many nations.
wiil rather be the ambition of the Editor, as far as his
I,,,tra may extend, to give to a City, yet unrepresented
vtrithe Press, that voice which would seem naturally to
6,°ng to the celebrity of its former actions, and the splen-
A tir of its ancient name. It is fit that one of the first
fipcultural Districts in the kingdom should bring the in-
-I,ece of its opinions, and the energy of its councils, to
eear, on the mass of rival and conflicting interests, which
are incident to the day.
Lincoln considered in reference to the population and
ii-P4ience of the County of which it is the capital, and its
'Rta.nce from the turbulence and discord of the chief seats
i_our Manufactories, constitutes the centre of the most
;Portent and unmixed Agricultural District in the United
tZ.Pire; and when we consider that there is (as the writer
14 'ries) no other County Town in England, and scarcely
the
principality of Wales, that is without a public Jour-
and that several County Towns of inferior magnitude
tja two Periodicals ; it is not perhaps assuming too much
lay that the City has abated something of its intrinsic
terie.ltl.., and foregone some advantages, by such a depriea-
t'llet Within the circle of the Provincial Capitals of
t,rte jCingdom, it has, therefore, not only a great and ex-
interest to defend, but a paramount duty to per-
th To the parties now offering to supply this deficiency
b. e Institutions of the City, it is no sudden and fresh
;LlJect of the mind ; as they had contemplated the same
• eq'os more than twenty years ago, when they were an-
fl vtted by the efforts of others : which, though unsuccess-
served at least to show that the advantages of such an
Nblishnient were appreciated by the County.
1410 respect to the general plan of the Lincolnshire
al it will be sought to render it a brief and spirited
l',Zreot of the times; combining the miscellaneous and
tight character of the Newspaper with interesting selec-
t'o° from popular works, and occasional dissertations on
questions of political discussion, to which is
heisting circumstances give weight ant attraction. It will
;°ntent to leave the crabbed doctrines el Political Eco-
tfireY, to those prolix and ponderous scribes wise mistake
It province of a Journalist for that of the Book-maker.—
Ws rather the business of the, professor of the " Broad
~,ils:et" to consider his work as a little map of the world, en
t 4 the man of business has as great a claim as the man

e Philanthropist ; and ele amenity of the poet, dwell to-
,Z°lher in a spirit of goed neighbourhood ;—jostled by the
fife of nations—arid " battle, murder, and sudden

baud arena is conflicting human events, to remit no es-
partLularity, whether in the bulletin that shakes
e security of.empires, or the last change in the price of
'`Over
sied. Following this shadowy procession, which mas-
:l4ereies through the columns of every Newspaper, comes the
rttNge medley of congregated gaiety and grief ; the con_
tand crowded throng of merrymakers and of mourners
,`,", bridal festivity, and in funeral pomp ; alternating the
ittliful peal and the passing be, over the ceremonies of
no rival claimants at the altar and at the grave.
The use of the Press is as severe a test of discretion, as
of talent. In the department of original correspon-
qetlect on subjects of local and County interests, the
11;lctest principles of honour, fidelity, and impartiality will
observed towards all parties and persons who may
,hnolir the Editor with their communications; and
j„titlgli it may rest with him at times, to exercise a severe
t;nllrnent on the letters addressed to him, a due considera-
t;°4, of that peculiar sense of duty to the general public, by
kheLich he is bound to be guided, will reconcile all reason-
'e men to a just exercise of a discretionary row, r that
aeendered imperative by circumstances; and not by the
.„ '1 or the desire of the person occupying the Editorial
ee.
lilt is the especial desire of the Editor to avail himself of
e best sources of local information, whether in the
o'l or in the other chif towns of the County ; and he,
1 tr!k're, respectfully solicits persons who may wish well
tn his cause, or feel desirous of promoting his usefulness,
►h'eotnrnunicate to him, or to his Agents, confidentially,
hated
articles of intelligence as it is desirable should be re-,
I,,rted faithfully and accurately; and this is commonly
't clone 1w the parties who have a proper interest therein..
agohe Editor considers this Address rather as a mere
I;e'incernent of the Journal than an elaborate sacrifice
's'lii"torn, in the way of detailed views and principles,
'll have commonly little meaning, and often no mean-
hg at all. We never read a Prospectus of a new Journal

PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
ISLAND IN THE RIVER NESS.

SEVERAL GENTLEMEN of Inverness
and its vicinity, have long entertained a wish that
Bridges should be erected over the River Ness, at the western
extremity of the town, in order to open up the ISLAND to
the Public, and to connect the Walks on the opposite
Banks of the River. The ISLAND is upwards of four
Acres in extent, and is unquestionably the most beautiful
spot in the environs of Inverness. It is now, however,
inaccessible to the Public; and the individuals with whom
the proposed improvements originated conceive that to
form an easy access to the Island, by means of Chain Ten-
sion Bridges, and to lay it out in graceful and varied walks,
would at once form a lasting ornament to the town, a
powerful attraction to strangers, and a source of healthful
recreation and enjoyment to the inhabitants.

petition was then ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. F. LEWIS presented a petition from Wen-
lock, against the Ale-house Licensing Bill.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a petition from
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, praying for the Abolition of
Slavery.
Mr. WESTERN presented three similar petitions
from Rocking, Baconsfield, and Wethersby.
Mr. C. GRANT presented a petition from the
inhabitants of Ross, playing for a Tax en Foreign
Foreign Wool.
Mr, FERGUSON saidj that the greater portion
of the rental of Scotland was raid fano the fleece,
but still he thought the landed interest were not dt,
sirous of a tax on the importation of Foreign Wool.
Mr. KENNEDY thought that the opinion was
by no means so general as he supposed, and it was
too much for the lion. Gentleman to speak as if re-
presenting the whole of the landed interest.
Mr. FERGUSON explained.

Sir C. BURRELL made some observations
which were quite inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. BARING said, that it would be much better
to make a specific motion upon the subject, and thus
call the attention of the House fairly to the subject,
rather than thus introduce a discussion upon a peti-
tion. When a duty was proposed to be placed on
the raw material, those who proposed it should state
what it was that called for such a duty, and then it
might be shown that the word grower was not con-
sulting his interest when he asked fora protecting duty
They should also say what duty it was that they re-
quired, instead of asking indefinitely for a duty.
Mr. BENETT said, that the duty required now
was that which they had formerly possessed, during
which possession it did not do any harm to the
country. The fact was, that when the price of
wool was reduced, a raduction took place also in the
exportation, and landed estates in the West of Eng-
land had fallen in value at least 20 or 30 percent.
Sir C. BURRELL explained, and the petition
was ordered to be printed.
Mr. C. GRANT presented a petition from the
woollen manufacturers of Gallashiels against a duty
upon the importation of foreign wool and also a
petition from Southampton praying that foreign flour
might be allowed to be manufactured into biscuit for
ships' use.

~AL~.

From last night's proceedings in the House of
Commons, it appears that a sanguine
expectationb
away by any extravagance of overheated feeling, that
something will be done by his Majesty's present
canie is
d
indulged, and in quarters not likely to
Ministers for the settlement of the Catholic question.
This question can be settled but in one way. The
Catholics must be admitted to the Constitution, of
Ireland will cease to be a portion of the British em-
pire. We are conscious of the full force and bear-
ing of this language. No Government or country
that rules in right of conquest, will yield to the
conquered an atom of power which it feels the possi-
bility of retaining. Ireland has been alwaysrid.rel
a subjugated colony. EACII attempt that i.
course of centuries has been made by the
__s
of Ireland (whether pure Celt, or nixed with Eng-
lish blood) to wrest for their own Innetit ever so
little of the law or liberty appropriated by the victors
to themselves, was met by new inflictions
.of fire,
sword, and confiscation. The colonial poises has
ever been coercive, and it is so still. Such wee the
policy which caused the first American war, and sue2l
the effects produced by a long experience of that
policy, on the minds of our former fellow-sub-
jects in North America, that they would con-
fide no longer in English justice or liberality, but
fought for separation,
:end achieved it. While the
North American colonies e
Great Britain insisted
thus on an absolute release from her yoke, her Irish
colonists took took up arms, and though ;wailC routs ccess
ob-
ful in their attempt, were far more litnite:
ject. The Irish, had they shared the desire Alme
rica to break loose from England, might have e one
so with as little difficulty as they encountered iii :11c
acquisition of free trade, and in the repeal of that
act which had made the Parliament of Ireland a
vassal to that of Great Britain. To these latter
objects England made all the opposition in her
power; that was, no effectual opposition at
all. She gate up, not from it sense of justice,. but
of impotence, the whole of the prize contended ..it
by Ireland, and had Ireland then chosen to separate,
her volunteer army, 70,000 strong, had not 5,000
British soldiers to oppose them. To carry on the
government of Ireland with more ease to this country
than could be hoped for through ft separate legisla-
ture, the Union was projected, just 16 years after
that legislature had shaken off its chains. England
was then strong, and, half by force and half by
fraud—for violated engagements are but another
name for fraud—she demolished the native Parlia-
ment, and extinguished the independence which a
short time before she had Yielded. The faction
which had been for los own eelfish epds the instru-
ment of the British Minister, while Ireland was a
colony, has sought to perpetuate the same colonial
oppression since she became theoretically a portion
of Great Britain. From the time of Lord Hard-
wicke to that of Lord Talbot, both inclusled, this
inconsistent and unnatural policy was fostered by
the King's Government. The Catholic body
had gradually, since the year 1779, been grow-
ing; until at last they have amounted to, and
composed, the bulk of the Irish nation. The Orange
party represented the Old English of the pale, and
this indecent and hardly conceivable contrast has
been exhibited; after, so far as acts of Parliament
went, the two countries had been incorporated into
one. It is impossible that the Govesurneot of Ire-
land could have been carried on in such a spirit, had
that of England been guided by the love of justkes
or by what (when we recollect the contemporary
acts of Mr. Pitt) must be termed the " faith of trea-
ties." This argument of justice, then, having
utterly failed of success, the discontented Irish and
their advocates are wise in appealing to that whicl,
alone has never been unattended to when tried by
a powerful disputant—the argument of 1763—when
the force of Ireland, physical and moral, addressed
itself to the prudence of Great Britain. We say
that the danger to be dreaded from Catholic—that
is, from Irish—hostility and exasperation, is that
which ought now to form the main topic of reflec-
tion with his. Majesty's Ministers, and with the
British Parliament and people. The enemies of the
Catholics act almost unconsciously under this very
feeling, when they now, for the first time Eince,
the question became an English one, abandon
the old ground of everlasting exclusion, and

to conciliate their animosity ? Nothing, but the very
reverse of this. The Catholics have set up their
mighty Association, terrible for the, rievances which
it exposes, and for the passions which it wieldy un-
controllably. The priesthood, as the Duke of Wel-
lington says, " has combined," and the leaders haee
harangued and inflamed the multitude,—and have
not crouched before their adversaries, or prayed for-
giveness, or indulgence at their hands ; but have
flung defiance from 7,000,000 of hands, and shown
themselves not. a prostrate, but a resolute and
threatening people. What sort of influence, then,
must we presume has been exercised, by such pro-
ceedings, over the minds of the anti-Catholics in
this country ? Why, they regard the whole state of
Ireland as one vast preparation for a coming battle,
and they are frightened, as they ought to be; and
that is the true secret of their altered language. We
repeat it, then, emphatically, that the danger of letting
things remain in their present state, is the rational
ground on which to argue the necessity of emancipa-
tion. It is better for us to emancipate the Catholics

thinks
so, and it is a proof of his good sense. His Grace de-

Why to be sure we must. His Grace affirms that
we cannot settle it by a concordat from the Pape
tainly not; but we may disestablish, and dethrone
the Popish hierarchy, by accepting from his Holi-
ness a surrender of his existing, though we admit
most unprofitable prerogatives, assuming by law a
negative control over the priesthood guaranteed by
a positive law for their support, and the whole se-
cured by an incorporation of the laity with our ;soli-
tieal constitution. We are sure that this is not fat
different from the view of the subject which the
Duke of Wellington has clearly, though cautiously
and discreetly, opened ; and as for danger to he

The Duke of Wellington has, in our opinion,
rightly put the " Catholic Question" on the ground
of political, not religious, considerations. The Arch-
bishop of Tuam, on the contrary, shot wide of the
mark altogether when he argued the question as a
theological subject. It is Not because the Roman
Catholics believe absurd doctrines that they are or
