SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.--Sir Robert Peel has just made another
stand, and it is a stand by which he will one day fall,
for he stands now upon the Iris} Church. Of the sin-
cerity with which he does so we make no doubt, nor
have we any fault to find with his motives. It
is quite true, as he says himself, though in
rather more words, that he cannot afford to
change again. He has already, by one con •
cession, lost Oxford, his early pride—he will not
forfeit Tamworth, his remaining boast : and as Tam-
worth is to Oxford, so will be the character for con-
sistency which he may still hope to gain, to that which
he once posssessed. After all, as a matter of personal
feeling, he is right to make the most of his oppor-
tunities, such as they are ; and hence it is that he will
stick to the last to his Irish Church, that " dear ruin"
which ho has helped to make, and as he tells us
also at the same time, to his English Chancellor
—another striking proof of the desperate fidelity with
which he will henceforward adhere both to his mea-
sures and his men. his constancy, too, in the last
instance, is brought out in bold relief by contrast
with the very opposite conduct of the Whigs towards
one of their Chancellors—poor Lord Plunket. We
would not willingly speak hardly of him, but the un-
f. praise of Sir R. Peel compels us to say, that
with all his talent, even before his incapacity became so
notorious, he was the worst Chancellor that either
Ireland or England had seen since the days of Lord
Erskine. We speak not as partisans, or we would not
have cited the latter name. Lord Plunket, however,
had, in an eminent degree, that merit which Sir
Robert Peel appreciates the most in a judge ; and if he
read the debate of Friday night, how much he must
have regretted that he was not born either a Tory or
a Scotchman ? Even as it is, we wonder that Sir R.
Peel did not, in his own peculiar way, show his sense
of merit in an opponent by offering to make him
either a Master in Chancery or a pro-Vice-Chan-
cellor, as he did offer to that really eminent judge,
and most judicious, though unobtrusive, politician,
Lord Cottenham—who had, we thought, done his
duty in his own sphere, both too modestly and
too well to have been singled out, as he was
by a political adversary, as an object of that
which we will make bold to call the most un-
paralleled instance on record of official im-
pertinence. But to return to the Irish Church,
which, like the late Irish Chancellor, will take no
hints, and will not retire even upon a pension, except
upon compulsion : it seems certainly to be a little
less near to its end than we had thought it to be
before the late debate; for it is now proclaimed, in
the hearing of all men, that Sir Robert Peel will not
give it up, that Sir James Graham will not betray
it, and more than this, that. Lord John Russell
will not attack it in right earnest. As the
leader of a party which may perhaps not very
long be in opposition, Lord John Russell may be
right in forbearing to connect himself to measures
which, as the head of a new Government, he might
not be able to carry out ; but we who are not re-
strained by any such considerations, and who claim
the right of saying what we think, both in season and
out of season, do not hesitate to say that the time is
come, and is not gone by, as some people sup-
pose, for giving up the... Protestant Establishment
in Ireland, that is—for taking from it at once,
with the reserve only of existing life interests,
so much of its property as exceeds the proportion
which the number of its members bears to the po-
pulation of Ireland. This, or something like this,
will be, at some time or other, the inevitable
end. This has been, at all times since the in-
vasion of the Irish Protestant Church, the only
just course ; and never, we think, have the rea-
sons for doing it once been so urgent and impe-
rious as they are now. We do not say that this
of itself would do much for Ireland ; but it is the
only thing that will give us a chance of doing any-
thing, as it affords the only means of acting upon the
people by ensuring the co-operation of their leaders
and advisers. We speak not of their chief movers
at present, but of their natural and habitual
leaders and advisers—the Catholic gentry and clergy.
The difficulty of carrying such a measure through
Parliament is, we apprehend, very much overrated.
Who would have thought, three months before the
introduction of the Catholic Relief Bill, that it would
have passed the House of Lords by a majority of more
than a hundred ? And so we think it would turn out
now, if the question were well brought home to them,
that the English people are too sensible and too just to
care so much about the Irish Church as those who claim
to represent the religion of the country would have us
believe. They require but a little time and a little
pressing to remove their scruples ; and if Mr. Cobden
could, in the course of his travels, occasionally spare
a bye-day to enlighten them, as to the real state
of the case, the business would soon be done. At
any rate, we believe that it is in the power of
Lord John Russell and those who act with him, to de.
it; and whatever deference we may feel for the feel-
ings which bid them refrain from doing all that they
might do, we do not hesitate to say that if the Irish
Church exists in all its solitude of ascendancy five
years hence, it will owe it, though it may not choose
to own it, to the forbearance of Lord John Russell
and his friends.

STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle affects
to admire the tone of Sir Robert Peel's speech. We
admire it unaffectedly. We think that the
Premier took his line of argument upon the
Church question in the very best taste, and with
the soundest judgment, and indeed sound judg-
ment rarely differs from good taste. Our Con-
temporary, however, while admitting and admiring
the Right Honourable Baronet's premises, quar-
rels with his conclusion—namely, that the esta-
blished United Church must be supported without
deterioration and without a rival. This is some-
what repugnant to logical rule; granting the pre-
mises, the conclusion legitimately drawn from
these premises is usually taken as granted also.
But we see where the Morning Chronicle has
bewildered itself, it puts Sir R. Peel's reference to
the creed of Roman Catholics generally, for—the
creed it is not, but—the abject subjection of the
political Roman Catholics, for which Sir H. W. Bar-
ron, Mr. More O'Ferrall, and Mr. Sheil spoke ;
the latter are, however, as regards Roman Catholics
generally, but a minority, and as regards intelligent
Roman Catholics, a truly " miserable minority."
In the Premier's reference to the addresses of the
Operative Protestants, he did not condemn men for
the expression of their opinions, but he complained,
and with reason, of their inadvertently taking a
course which !might seem to commit the Executive
to these opinions, or compel them reluctantly to
treat those taking that course with less kindness and
respect than they really entertained for them. Was
there any desertion of Protestants in this ?

LAW INTELLIGENCE,
HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 26.
The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers
present were the Lord Chancellnr, Lord Brougham,
Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell.

SANDFORD V. MORRIS.
The arguments in this part heard appeal were resumed
and concluded to-day. The question in the case related
to the law of real property.
Their Lounsturs postponed their judgment.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 26.
(Before the VICE-CIIANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Honour took motions to-day, and was occupied the
greater portion of the morning with one relative to an
article of dress called antigropelos, or mud-boots. The
matter has been several times before the Court, and it
is unnecessary further to advert to it.

COUR7' OF EXCIIEQUER, Feb. 26.
(Before Chief Justice TLNDAL.)
The Court was engaged this morning in hearing the case
of Selby v. Mackade. It was an issue directed from the
Vice-Chancellor's Court, and the object was to ascertain to
whom certain moneys should be given. There was nothing
in the cause of the least general interest.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. H.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.)
There were a few special jury cases and some common
jury cases set down for trial to-Ziay, but nothing of an in-
teresting nature came before the Court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MARYLEBONE.

Ford, an Irish labourer, was placed before Mr. Raw-
linson, charged with having stolen from an unfinished house
in Ridgcmont-place, Paddington, five window-sashes, con-
taining about 60 squares of glass, the property of Mr. William
Allen builder.
John Hanworth, living nearly opposite the house from
which the sashes were abstracted, saw a truck standing there
on Saturday night, about twenty minutes after seven, and,
suspecting something wrong, he watched, and Room after the
prisoner came out, and, after placing the sashes on the truck,
he moved off with it. The witness followed, and gave him
into custody of Sergeant Taylor, on suspicion of *stealing them.
Sergeant Taylor, 11 S., said that the prisoner told him he
was going to take the property to a Mr. James, but could
not satisfactorily answer AA to where that gentleman
and would not give his own address. Ho was theretbre taken
into custody.
Joseph • Martin, clerk of the works to Mr. Allen, identified
the property, and the prisoner having nothing to say in his
defence, was folly 'committed for trial.

.Richard Briggs' 2, Cottage-building*, Pancras-street, Tot-
tenham-court-road, was charged with having been drunk and
driving a cab without a badge.
On Saturday afternoon police-constable, G 72, being on
duty in AlArgaret-street, Ilagnigge-wells-road, saw the pri-
konCr driving the cab 1,263 at a rapid pace. The!prisoner
was drunk, and had not proceeded far before ho drove his
cab over the foot of a man, who was crossing the street.
The officer took him into custody, and sent the cab to the
Green-yard. It was there ascertained that the prisoner was
an unlicensed driver, and had; iti:PArding to his own state-
ment, been tidEeil tO,drive the cab by John Baxter, driver to
1311. 80414 MC, cab proprietor.
Lotter, who was present was placed at the bar and charged
L
by Mr. Seabrook, with neglect of duty. Baxter's defence
was, that he merely asked the prisoner to attend to his cab,
whilst in the Green Man public-house, Oxferd-atreet.
Briggs admitted he waa tmliecaled•

Mr. GREENWOOD said that Briggs had committed a
bad offence. If the proprietor of the cab knowingly
POr-
mitted an unlicensed person to drive it, he subjected himself
to a fine of 101., and the licensed driver who employed an un-
licensed licensed person rendered himself liable to a fine It

About twelve on Saturday night last the prisoners, b
under the influence of liquor, were creating a disturbance rie
