to grant away any part of the royal prerogative
as to give the right of dispensing with an •\ ot of Par-
liament. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue
that in a cOnstitutional, as well as in a legal point of
view, it was very important that the judicial and the
executive powers should be kept separate and distinct.
When a man had been judicially sentenced, the enforce-
ment of the sentence was ono of the functions of •the
executive; therefore, if the Crown officer (the Lieut.-
Governor) had the custody of the prisoner, he was right
in enforcing his liberation, as he had done, under the
authority of the Crown. In conclusion, the Learned
Gentleman intreated their -Lordships—recollecting the
feelings which had been excited in the course of this
contest—would in their decision vindicate the Lieu-
tenant-Governor, without giving a triumph to one party
or the other.
Mr. WADDINOTON followed on the same side.

The Learned Counsel's arguments were not concluded
when the Council rose.

At its rising the Council adjourned till Wednesday.

" Colonel Maxwell from an early period kept a copious diary, and
these volumes being extracted from it, have, the force, freedom, and
liveliness of reality. The book is in the rollicking Harry Lorrcquer
style, with plenty of fun among Italian signors, and love-making with
the principessas ; but it contains many passages of historical interest,
and abundance of anecdote. There is much of value lu the volumes
to entitle Colonel Maxwell to our thanks for his publication."—

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1844.

Our readers may perhaps remember that, some five
or t.ix weeks since, Mr. O'CONNELL publicly an-
nounced his intention of coming over to England
previously to the meeting of Parliament, and making
a sort of, tour through the country, everywhere pro-
claiming his own and his country's grievances. He
promised to treat his English audiences to a full and
particular history of the State Trials, of his own sub-
sequent imprisonment, and of all matters appertaining
thereto, in the confident assurance that his narrative
would be listened to with interest, and the popular
indignation be roused at the idea of the injustice
done him and his brother traverscrs. Mr. O'CoN-
Neer, would not have been disappointed in
his expectations. He would have found the majo-
rity of his English hearers—who are notoriously fond
of fair play—perfectly ready to sympathise with the
story of his wrongs, hacknied. as is now the theme ;
but, distrusting their feelings towards him, he has
thought fit to change his mind ; and if he now visits
this country, it will only be as a Member of Parlia-
ment, in the di?charge of his senatorial duties. At
the Repeal demotstration, which took place last week
at Waterford, the Honourable and Learned Gen-
tleman, alluding to this alteration in his views,
observed that he had no longer any hope of being
able to make an impression on the heads or
hearts of Englishmen, for they evinced a total
disregard of everything Irish; and then proceeded to
make an attack on the English Press, which he ac-
cused, in no measured terms, of refusing to report
the grievances of the sister country. Really this is
doing us gross injustice. When have we hesitated,
in common with the majority of our Contemporaries,
to denounce the conduct of Government towards
Ireland ? When have we ever declined to make
known the wrongs of that ill-starred country, and to
insist on a full and complete measure of justice being
awarded to her? Have not the columns of the
English Press teemed month after month, week after
week, for many years past, with minute, circum-
stantial reports of Repeal meetings at the Con-
ciliation-hall, and Repeal dinners at the various
provincial towns of Ireland ? There is not a
public man in the empire whose sayings and doings
have been reported at such length, and with such
scrupulous accuracy in the English journals, as Mr.
(MD:SNELL. He is the very. last person who should
complain of our neglect. Even his worst jokes have
been chronicled with the minuteness of an item in a
tradesman's ledger. Nay, so studiously solicitous
has the Press been do him • •
to justice, that it has not
omitted even to make honourable mention of the
velvet crown-shaped. cap, w hich he wore the other
day at one of the Repeal gatherings, and
in which we have every reason to believe
he looked unusually captivating! Why then does he
denounce us, instead of exhibiting towards us all the
bland benevolence of gratitude? Simply because we
will not pay more deference to his Repea crotchet

•to Catholic Emancipation. He ransacked the Eng-
lish language for the most violent terms wherein to
express his horror and detestation of Popery, its
principles, its ceremonies, and its usages. The Pope
was to him Antichrist, and the priests the undoubted
issue of his antichristian loins. And yet we now
find him giving his insidious, indirect encouragement
to Puseyism, which, as all the world knows, is but a
modified species of Catholicism ! His past principles
are all forgotten, or regarded with shameless in-
difference, and he can now endure, through the
medium a a Pastoral Letter, to give the heaviest
blow and the greatest discouragement to the reformed
Protestant Establishment that it has met with for
many a long year past! For let no one suppose that
the mischievous effects of the Letter in question will
be confined to the diocese of Exeter alone. They
will be felt far and wide. The more zealous and de-
termined among the Puseyites will be confirmed in
their heretical tenets by the high sanction of the
apostolic PHILLPOTTS, and will carry on the war
against sober, rational, moderate-minded Protestant •
ism, with more energy than ever. When once the
flia me is fairly lighted, who shall extinguish it—who
shall say at what point the conflagration shall stop ?
The Archbishops and Bishops may meet if they
please, in solemn conclave, but we wholly despair of
their being able to effect any substantial good by
their deliberations. If they attempt to conciliate, as
CHARLES JAMES LONDON did the other day, the
fanatical Puseyites, they will egregiously fail, for
when was fanaticism ever yet conciliated ? If, on
the contrary, they bring all the weight of their
episcopal authority to bear against them, they will,
in the first place, only confirm them in their heresy,
by impressing them with the proud, flattering idea,
that they are martyrs to their conscientious scruples;
and, secondly, they will expose the weakness of the
Church—its dissensions, its distrusts, and the heart-
burnings raging within its bosom, in a broader, fuller
light to the public gaze, than has yet been the case.
Alas ! for the Establishment, once so lofty in its
tone—so firm and self-confident of its authority
We greatly fear that this P.useyite or Tractarian
heresy is but a symptom of " the beginning of
the end."

The news by this conveyance is not politically im-
Portant. Public attention was directed to the open-
ing of Congress, and much speculation was afloat as
to the Future policy of the new President. The
Whigs were consoling themselves, that although they
were beaten, their views must be carried out by the
new Government, as they were able to resist any
measures which were not in accordance with their
supposed interests.

and to accept of the guardianship of the second
daughter of the Infanta LOUISA, and her anxiety and
readiness to accept the charge. She is to leave Paris
for Madrid as soon as the preparations for her journey
are arranged. This, however, cannot be before the
commencement of the month of February, at the very
soonest. This is the answer which the Com-
missioners are to carry back to Madrid. They were
to leave Paris on Monday. Another Legitimist
Paris paper had been seized, making the fifth within
five days. The Courrier Francais says the King of
the NETHERLANDS has sent the Duke of BORDEAUX
a pressing invitation to visit him at the Hague, and
the Duke is to leave England on the 12th of next
month. The King of HANOVER, the Emperor of
RUSSIA, and the King of SARDINIA have also sent
him invitations. The Courrier Frangais asks if, see-
ing those matters, and also remembering the " Royal
Reception" given to the Duke, it can any longer be
be said that foreign Powers have amicable relations
with France. We are mueh inclined to disbelieve
these statements.

On Sunday, at Tortoni's, the French funds, which
on Saturday had fallen to 81f. 90c., opened at 82f.,
and afterwards rose to 82f. 10c., and finally closed at
82f. sc. buyers.
The only intelligence from Madrid of the slightest
interest is, that the Council of Ministers had come to
a definitive resolution to dissolve the Cortes, and
were only waiting till they had received the neces-
sary authority from the Chambers to collect the taxes
before putting the resolve into execution.

There must be some mistake in the accounts from
Southampton, that the China and India Mail had
left that place on the Ist. The Post-office gives notice
that it is not to leave till the 6th inst.
We had another heavy fall of snow on Monday
night, and it now lies in many places several inches deep.
Both the barometer and thermometer are very low,
and there is every appearance of severe weather.

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.—If the direct
written testimony in favour of the purity and perfection
of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, given, after analysis, by
three of the most eminent Chemists of the day, needed any con-
firmation, it will be found in the fact, that it is employed, in
preference to Foreign Brandy, under high medical direction, in
many of the principal Hospitals, Infirmaries, and other Public
Institutions in the Kingdom ; among which it may suffice to
name Guy's, St. George's, and the Westminster Hospitals in.

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3, 1844.

We are not inclined to magnify the existing dan-
gers of the country, nor to look on the dark side of a
scene, which is resplendent with many beauties. In
the ensuing session of Parliament many subjects of
the most vital importance to the British nation must
be brought forward, and not only brought forward
and discussed, but settled, and in a way, too, satis •
factory to the nation. Not a few of these are sur-
rounded with many difficulties ;—we need only men-
tion the state of Ireland ; the all-engrossing question
of the corn-laws ; the principles of free trade which
are gaining ground every day ; the education of the
people, perhaps the most ignorant in any civilized
state ; and we wish we could add the improvement
of the clergy, and a reform of the national Church.
The two last, however, must be sometime de-
layed. The violent antipathy between Churchmen
and Dissenters showed itself so strongly last year,
that the case appears utterly hopeless : and the
Church—that is to say, those interested in Church
livings, ecclesiastical perquisites, ecclesiastical
abuses, and in the division of property belonging to
this enormous national establishment—is too powerful
for any Minister. But without these, there is enough
of work for the forthcoming session, and if the Minis-
ler has only the spirit to undertake reforms in a vigorous
ALA judicious manner, all the difficulties maybe easily
surmounted. Several measures introduced by Sir
ROBERT PEEL show that the landlords and tenants
are not so obstinate and bigoted as they have been
dt -scribed. They murmured for a few weeks at the
neN v tariff, they now see that it has done them no
harm 3 and we may therefore generously suppose that
other classes'', whose supposed interests are at stake,
would yield v.7ith the same composure, if the Minister
would only muster courage to take a bold,
a straiightforwixrd, and just course. Ireland,
and esßecially the Irish Church, cannot remain
as it is with safety for another year. Many
parts of that country are not habitable for civilised
beings. The law is set at defiance, murders are com-
mitted in open day, witnesses will not come forward
to give p.,-idence at a trial or an inquest, and the very
mag istrates' :Themselves are afraid to perform their
duty. Seen have lately taken place in that un-
fortunate lar which, with a numerous priesthood
i the p
Pa ?<Tie, and the most wealthy Established
Church in the world, are unparalleled among the
most barbarous nations of the earth. This does not
happen without cause. In every country laws which
are found just a lad merciful are willingly obeyed.
The Irish, when properly treated, are generally an
obedient and grat 'eful people. Convince them that
they have fair play, land no class of men are more

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive

ALBATA PLATE.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, BARBIC AN, and 16, NOR-
TON FOLG ATE, aided by a person of science in the amalga-
mation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with all its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resisting all acids—may be cleaned as Silver,

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this meta
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merit
alone he wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing
eulogiums he receives, he is convinced that nothing can pre-
vent its becoming an article of universal wear.
