hath not any power or authority, ecclesiastical or
spiritual, within this realm—which refers to the fact—
but by declaring " that he ought not to have such,"
binds himself to its prevention, and becomes a party
in opposing any and every measure calculated to bestow
such.
Although we have exceeded our usual limits, we have
by no means exhausted the subject, which, it will b.?
seen, is one of paramount importance, and to which we
must of necessity return. We have stated the case
calmly and dispassionately ; and if our views be cor-
rect, there can be no doubt that the " oath of supre-
macy" is virtually abrogated, if not formally repealed.
We are by no means prepared to accuse Sir Robert feel
with having done this intentionally • but if the very ex-
istence of Protestantism be perilled, and the rights and
privileges of its professors be abridged or destroyed by
ignorance, we should like to know what degree of
culpa-
, bility attaches to his late procceeding; the alternative of
this abrogation or repeal being, that Protestants, who
cannot conscientiously take the oath, are disqualified
thereby for all those privileges, rights, and functions for
the enjoyment and exercise of which the law requires
the taking of the oath as a preliminary ; yea, as fully
disqualified as the Roman Catholics were previously to
1829, bh the oaths of which they were relieved by the
Roman Catholic Relief Bill.
One word in conclusion :—lf the oath of supremacy
cannot longer be conscientiously taken by Protestants—
the law pronouncing that in certain cases it is absolutely
necessary that it should—let us see the position in which
Protestants are placed. There can be no succession of
clergymen of the Church of England in Ireland. There
can be no members of the professions ; no magistrates;
no Protestants can accept of office under the Crown, or
take their seats as representatives of the people. The
privilege of electing temporal Peers abolished ; Pro-
testantism is virtually put down ; and the Established
Church actually annihilated—for, supposing the scruple
to be well founded, none but Roman Catholics can exer-
cise the several functions pertaining to each—for they
alone are exempted from taking the oath.
Suppose for a moment that the present apparent
movement in Ireland is the result of diplomacy on the
one hand, and deceit on the other—we don't say it is--
but supposing such a thing possible, what will the people
of England say to their Prime Minister for duplicity or
ignorance ?

THE CHARITABLE BEQUESTS
BILL—THE ACT of SETTLEMENT.
THE OATH OF SUPREMACY.
(From the •Dublin Evening Mail.)
While as journalists we have been fighting bye-battles
upon minor points connected with the recent enactment;
while we have been congratulating our Roman Catholic
countrymen upon the protection which this law affords
against the rapacity of their priests ; and encouraging
such members of their hierarchy and their Church as have
evinced moral courage enough to combat the devices of
unprincipled demagogues, and encounter the hootings of
uncivilised mobs; we greatly fear we have not been suffi-
ciently watchful in regarding the subject upon high con-
stitutional grounds ; or enough alive to the dangers with
which recent proceedings by the Ministers of the Crown
threaten to shake the empire to its very foundations.
If the view we are now about to take—and we are
fully impressed with its solemnity and importance—he
correct in law, as it is in fact, consequences the most
serious, and, probably, the most fatal, that ever befel a
Protestant people and a Christian nation are nearer at
hand than any of us had calculated upon.
By tho statute I William and Mary, s. 2, c. 2, a
statute preceding, by some years, that known as the Act
of Settlement, and by which the succession to the Crown
of England was declared and decided, it was enacted
" that every person who should be reconciled to, or hold
communion with, the See of Rome, should profess the
Popish religion, or should marry a Papist, should be
excluded and for ever incapable to inherit, possess, or
enjoy the Crown; and that in such case the people should
be absolved from their allegiance, and the (,rown should
descend to such persons, being Protestants, as would
hare inherited the same, incase the person so reconciled,
&c., were naturally dead."
Many other enactments were made, rendering it not
only obligatory upon the Sovereign to " join the com-
munion of the Church of England as by law established,"
but the following declaration was introduced into, and,
to the present hour, forms a prominent feature of, the
Coronation Oath—that solemn compact entered into
between the Sovereign and the people, at one of the most
august and sacred politico-religious ceremonials known
to our Church or to our Constitution—a compact sworn
to on the Gospel of the living God :
Archbishop or Bishop—" Will you, to the utmost of
your power, maintain the laws of God, the true profes-
sion of the Gospel, and the Protestant reformed religion
established by law ? And will you preserve unto the
bishops and clergy of this realm, and to the churches
committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges
as by -law do, or shall, appertain unto them, or any of
them ?"
King or Queen—" All this I promise to do."
It will be seen that all those enactments and declara-
tions had reference, and were intended to increase the
stringency of the Oath of Supremacy-1 Elizabeth, c. 1
—and revised and embodied in other Acts during the
reigns of William and Mary, Anne, and George the
First ; and it is necessary for our purpose that we should
give it here at length :
OATH OF SUPREMACY.
" I, A. 8., do swear that I do, from my heart, abhor,
detest, and abjure, as impious and heretical, that dam-
nable doctrine and position, that princes excommunicated,
or deprived by the Pope, or any authority of the See of
Rome, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or
any otherwhatsoever. And Ido declare that no foreign
prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate, hath, or ought
to hare, any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-emi-
nence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within
this realm. So help ma God."
Our purpose in going thus far back is to show, that
in the reconstruction of the British Constitution, every
Act passed, and every declaration promulgated, from the
period of the Reformation down to the passing of the
Emancipation Act, had a twofold object always in view
—the spirit of which pervaded every Protestant law and
every Protestant document :—namely, no communica-
tion with the Pope—no connection with his See—
eschew both, politically, internationally, and religiously
—no conference, no intercourse, no concordat—in fine,
"no fellowship with Rome."
The British Sovereign, unlike any other potentate on
the earth, is rendered incapable of ruling his or hersub-
jects under the dictates of despotism or the influence of
caprice—for all the jurists and standard writers upon
Constitutional law, even at so remote a date as the third
Henry, held, and it is thus laid down in Bracton and in
Fortescue, " that the law maketh the King. Let the
King, therefore, render to the law what the law has in-
vested in him with regard to others—dominion, and
poWer; for he is not truly King where will and pleasure
rules, and not the law ;" and again it is relied upon as a
principle, " that the King of England must rule his
people according to the decrees of the laws thereof."
But to obviate all doubt upon this subject, it is ex-
pressly declared by statute 12th and 13th William 111.,
c. 2, that,
" The laws of England are the birth-right of the
people thereof ; and all the Kings and Queens who shall
ascend the throne of this realm ought to administer the
Government of tho same according to the said laws ; and
all their officers and ministers ought to serve them res-
pectively according to the same ; and, therefore, all the
laws and statutes of this realm, for securing the esta-
blished religion, and the rights and liberties of the
people thereof, and all other laws and statutes of the
same now in force, are by his Majesty, by and with the
consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Com-
mons, and by authority of the same, ratified and con-
firmed accordingly."
Having now shown at some length—but not at greater
we hope than our readers will think was absolutely ne-
cessary—what the law was and is, in spirit as well as
in letter, let us see in what manner her Majesty's " Mi-
nisters have served their Sovereign and her subjects ac-
cording to the same ; and for securing- the established
religion and the rights and liberties of the (Protestant)
people in respect thereto."
By the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 97 (commonly called
the Charitable Bequests Act), sec. 15, it is enacted—
" That Roman Catholics shall be enabled by deed or
will to make grants, and vest in the Commissioners his
or their estate, &c., in lands or goods, or chattels, in
trust for any Archbishop or Bishop, in holy orders of
the Church of Rome, officiating in any district, or having
pastoral superintendence of any congregation of persons
professing the Roman Catholic religion." And again,
in the 17th and 18th sections, the titles and the status of
the Roman Catholic Prelates are fully recognised and
established by law, after passing of said Act. But it is
not only that this recognition takes place, but the Act
provides for priority in the Board of Commissioners, and
gives to her Majesty, in Council, the appointment of the
Commissioners; and therein, as we have seen, not only
the Romish Archbishops and Bishops are recognised as
such, but appointed to priority and precedence, accord-
ing to the rank of the same titles in the Established
Church, and placed before Peers of the realm and of
Parliament.

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, JAN. 27.—The weekly meeting of the Asso-
ciation was held this day in the Conciliation Hall.
On the motion of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., the chair
was taken by James Kelly, Esq., M.P. for Limerick.
The CHAIRMAN, after thanking the meeting for the
high compliment, said he was not only an admirer of his
native country, but he was, moreover, a representative of
the people in the Imperial Parliament, and considered
that he attended to their interests best by a constant at-
tendance at the meetings of the Association. The people
reposed the most entire confidence in the Association,
and placed reliance in their counsels and advice, and-
looked to them in the hour of danger as to a pilot to
steer them in the course they should pursue. There
was another good reason why the people should have
implicit confidence in the Association : inasmuch as
there was considerable danger attached to those gentle-
men who addressed them, .as they did not know the
minute that a construction might be put on their words
which they were never intended to bear—that, he said,
was no visionary idea—a gentleman (Mr. John O'Con-
nell) then present could bear testimony to that fact--
(Hear, and cheers)—the people of England, them-
selves, could also bear a similar testimony—and after
the decision of their law Lords, shame should rest upon
the English people if they neglected to call for pu-
nishment upon the abettors of that injustice.—(Hear.)
There had been a great deal of disturbance in a district
of the country to which he (Mr. Kelly) belonged; but he
was rejoiced to say that it was now upon the decrease ;
he considered that the Government had left themselves
open to the suspicion of being abettors of those disr
turbances, by having superseded those magistrates in
whom the people had confidence, for in his opinion that
act had tended much to the increase of crime. The Hon.
Gentleman mentioned having received several com-
munications from the south of Ireland, approving of the
proposed deputation to the see of Rome, and the delight
expressed by the writers at the intimation received of
Mr. John O'Connell and Lord Ffrench being two of the
delegates named. He concluded by saying that he
never felt more certain of the success of their cause than
at that moment, and that success, he alleged, depended
entirely upon themselves, and if the people continued to
pursue the same course, and by conciliation and kindness
to win over those who were opposed to them, they
would before long have their Parliament assembled in
Dublin.—(Cheers.)
Mr. S. O'BRIEN handed in the subscription of Mr.
Caleb Powell, M.P., and several remittances.
Mr. O'CoNNELL entered tha hall and was received
with the usual manifestations of regard. The Hon.
Gentleman then handed in several sums of money,
amongst them the subscription of John Hyacinth Tal-
bot, and 23L front Waterford, per Alderman Delahunty,
being the sum collected in that city during the present
month.
Mr. GRATTAN, M.P., addressed the meeting at much
length. He regretted that he was not present at the
last meeting, so that he might have had the pleasure of
hearing the speech of the Liberator, but he reed it in
the newspapers, and agreed in almost every word it con-
tained. He thought they should follow up with increased
perseverance the glorious cause of repeal, for every hour
convinced him more firmly that Ireland never could be
prosperous until she had the management of her own
affairs. In seeking for repeal they would evince no hos-
tility towards England or English interests. Their ob-
ject was to benefit their own country, and not have her
legislated for by those who called them a filthy and
felonious rabble, and used other epithets of an equally
atrocious character. The promises held out at the union
were never realised, and the Irish people had a right to
say, give us the benefit of the bond or cancel it.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he had to draw attention to a
very lengthy document : it was too late to read it at full,
but it would, he trusted, appear an the papers the follow-
ing morning ; he might, however, mention the nature of
it. It was a correspondence that had taken place between
the Right Rev. Dr. llynes, Administrator Apostolic of
British Guiana, and the Governor of that Colony, by
which it appeared that he would not allow the Catholic
bishop to dismiss a catechist who held a kind of Govern-
ment appointment under him, without a trial of his caps
bilities before the Governor.

THE PICTORIAL GALLERY OF ARTS.
To be completed in Twenty-four Monthly Parts, at Ono
Shilling each.
There is an exhibition in London, ofgreat and deserved popularity,
whose somewhat learned name denotes its purpose—the Polytechnic
Institution. It is a repository of MANY Arts. There is another
establishment, which has another Greekish name of much higher
pretensions—by which we understand nothing more nor less than
EVERYTHING relating to art. This must indeed be a wonderful
exhibition, if its collections at all realise Its title. For what is Art ?
It is the practical application of knowledge to the production of all
things whatever that can administer to the uses of man—to the
humblest necessities of the body, to the highest gratifications of the
mind. The word Art, then, is all-comprehensive.
But what no exhibition of real processes and products can accom-
plish may be attained in a great degree by
" A PICTORIAL GALLERY OF ARTS."
By the aid of three or four thousand Engravings we can open to the
view the entire kingdom of Technical Skill, in all its more important
operations. We can exhibit man, in every region of the earth, la-
bouring, with more or less success, to surround himself with those
necessaries, comforts, and conveniences, which constitute the ele-
ments of civilisation. We can show him going forward into the
higher range of arts, and surrounding his domestic and public life with
the attributes of Taste, and moving onward and onward till he reach
the highest development of the principles of Beauty. Here, again, is
another kingdom of art. Inseparably allied are these groat divisions
of knowledge in practice—and when they are separated essentially in
men's minds, there can be no permanent success even for what is
ignorantly held to belong exclusively to the useful. But, though there
be this unity of object, yet, for the sake of convenient arrangement,
and for leading onward from the simpler to the higher productions ot
technical skill, our Pictorial Gallery of Arts will have:two divisions.
The first will be devoted to what we have been accustomed to
call the Useful Arts ; the second to what in the same way we have
been accustomed to call the Flue Arts. But the union of all art will
be -essentially kept in mind. The utility of our First Geller.- is
manifest. But when we open our Second Gallery of the Fine Arts,
and display our pictorial representations of Architecture, Sculpture,
and Painting, Ancient and Modern, we know that a familiarity with
the beautiful sculptures of antiquity, with the noble paintings of the
great modern schools, and with the glorious monuments of Grecian
and Middle-age architecture, must have an enduring effect upon the
manufacture of a Worcester tea-cup or a Paisley shawl. Our two
Galleries will be " a school of design" of no inconsiderable value, by
this union of the useful and ornamental. We cannot call our work a
Pantechnicon ; but it will be the most complete Polytechnicon ever
opened for public instruction and amusement.
The First Number of the Pictorial Gallery of Arts will be published
on the Ist of February, 1845.

THE LATE STORM.
One of the severest storms known for many years was
experienced on Sunday morning last by the inhabitants
of Yarmouth, and the loss of human life and property
occasioned by its ravages has been dreadful. The gale
commenced shortly before four o'clock in the morning,
and as the day advanced it increased furiously, eventually
blowing a complete hurricane, to the terror of every
ship's crew lying at anchor in the roadstead ; rain and
snow fell heavily at intervals accompanied by a severe
frost. In the early part of the morning, at the com-
mencement of the gale, a brig called the Jane, from Midi-,
dlesborough, for London, was making for the Cockle
under double-reefed topsails, &c. By some unaccount-
able means she missed stays. The crew, perceiving that
the ship was driving on to the Scroby Sands, let go the
anchor for the purpose of bringing her up, but' in an in-
stant the chain broke by the force she was driving, and
directly afterwards she struck, where she soon sank, the
crew barely having time to get their clothes into the
boat before the vessel. went down. Another brig, named
the Ann Porter, laden with coals, of and from Sunder-
land to the metropolis, met with a similar fate ; she
drove on to the Scroby Sands, and became a total lcss.
Another, but, alas, a more dreadful wreck, succeeded the
above during the height of the storm. At about half-
past eight o clock a large brig was observed in a state of
distress, all her sails blown away, apparently having lost
her rudder, and driving in the direction of the same
salads. Immediately the alarm was given, a party of
thirteen brave fellows pushed off in a large yawl, about
fifty tons, named the Phoenix, from the beach, to the
rescue of the crew of the hapless vessel, for it was evi-
dent that she must strike the sands long before they
could come up with her, and such proved to be the case.
As the yawl neared the sands, the vessel could be seen
beating violently, while the sea was making a clear
sweep over her masts. The crew had taken to the rig-
ging, where they had lashed themselves. A ray of de-
light beamed on the countenances of both crews as the
yawl approached, steadily steered by a veteran fisher-
man, and the chances of saving their lives seemed cer-
tain. The yawl, however, was just being brought along-
side, when a terrible sea caught the boat and dashed it
to pieces against the bulwarks of the brig. Ten of its
crew contrived to grasp hold of the brig, as their frail
craft sank beneath the waves with three of their com-
panions, who were never seen more, and conse-
quently perished. The brig's crew having, as before
said, taken to the rigging, this was the only place of any
safety for those of the yawl. The latter having been
seen to go down by those assembled on the beach, the
life-boat belonging to Yarmouth was instantly launched
to render assistance to the unhappy creatures. Those
in the life-boat used all the energy they could to reach
the vessel in time, but ere they had reached half the dis-
tance the foremast, with its living freight lashed to it,
fell overboard, and every soul with it perished. The
feelings of the remainder, lashed to the mainmast, at
witnessing the melancholy fate of their companions were,
as may be imagined, of the most heart-piercing descrip-
tion. This mast also gave way, and fell over the ship's
side, and several of the party it is stated have likewise
perished. The life-boat was then close near at the time,
and, after very greltt exertion, seven were saved. These
all belong to the yawl; but the remainder of the crew
six in number, as well as the whole of the brig's crew
were drowned.

"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a maority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Ago and

Mr. DOIIENY handed in some money, and read a do-
cument which contained an allusion to Bishop Murray,
at the mention of whose name there were groans from
some portion of the assembly, which Mr. O'Connell at
once repudiated.
Mr. DOIIENY said that throughout the country repeal
reading-rooms were being established, and that one of
the principal books read in those places would be O'Con-
nell's Memoir of the Saxon and Irish ; and he thought
that premiums should be given to those who were best
conversant with the facts contained in that work.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he had to apologise for not
having the report of the Parliamentary Committee
ready upon the question as to whether tholrish Repeal
Members ought to attend their places in the House of
Commons during the corning session. Mr. Grattan
had told them what he thought of the English Parlia-
ment, and read to them what honest Tom Duncombe
said upon the same subject ; indeed they all knew that
there was little chance of the success of any popular
measure in the present Parliament, particularly if it
were Irish. There were some things said by Mr.:Grat-
tan in which he did not agree ; ho was not against a
connection with England. Under any circumstances he
was for the golden link of the Crown—one sovereign and
two Parliaments. Now the question was, should
they attend in the coming session or not 2 He
would not pronounce any opinion of his own until
he consulted with his friends around him ; but
he might with truth observe that, whether they at-
tended or not, the result would be the same—there would
be no measure of substantial justice passed with regard
to Ireland. They coulti not know what would be put
into the mouth of the Queen in the speech which she
was to deliver from the throne in a few days, but they
might anticipate that, whilst it contained a great deal
about the peace of Europe, the friendly relations with
foreign powers, the increase of the revenue and the pros-
perity of England, there would be no allusion to the
prosperity of Ireland, because it did not exist, and he
feared that there would not be even a promise held out
as to any good measure being introduced with regard to
it. He would not say that he had made up his mind as
to whether lie would go or not, for the truth was that
he had not done so, but when he and his friends met and
had the benefit of each other's opinions, they would come
to an arrangement upon the matter one way or tho
other, and would most certainly be prepared with their
report on the next day of meeting. He admitted that,
although he knew the presence of the Irish Mem-
bers conld do no service in the House of Com-
mons, he was still most anxious about the monster prose-
cution, and that the parties concerned in it should, at
least, be brought before the bar of public opinion ; but
that could be done as well in the absence of Irish Mem-
bers as in their presence; nay, he thought better, for such
was the hatred of Ireland and of the agitators on the
part of some Members, that they would rote against the
motion for inquiry merely for the sake of a personal
triumph, though they might be disposed not to vote at
all, or to vote the other way, if the agitators were not
there. His friend Mr. Doheny had referred to his
Memoir of Ireland, and no doubt it was said, and would
bo said, that he had written that book for the purpose
of exciting hatred against the English. Such was
not the fact ; he had written it to show the virtues of
the Irish, but he could not have done so without giving
in detail the crimes and atrocities of the English party,
who had always been predominant in Ireland. He
would be sorry to excite hatred against the Eng-
lish people, but he would excite, if possible, not only
the hatred, but the execration of the civilised world
against the canting, cruel, and sanguinary party that
had always trodden on Ireland—against such wretches.

The brig's name is as yet unknown, or where she be-
longed to. The wreck has entirely gone to pieces. It
is expected, however, from her size—upwards of 200
tons burden—that she was one of the Newcastle traders.
A melancholy shipwreck happened on the Cornish
coast, all hands on board, excepting one seaman, meeting
with a watery grave. The unfortunate vessel was a
brig called the William Pitt, belongin,, to Sunderland,
Captain Thomas Bowser, master, laden with 3,190
ardebs of beans, bound to Gloucester from Alexandria.
On Sunday morning last the ship made Scilly and Long
Ships Light. She then passed up the Channel, when
she encountered the storm, an.i sustaining considerable
injury, the master was determined to run into the first
harbour. That of Padstow being the first, the ship was
brought before the wind in order to run her in, when
unhappily, owing to the pilots not being at their posts,
and the captain being unacquainted with the locality,
she struck on the rocks on the Miners side, and after-
wards on the Dunbar, where she almost immediately
went to pieces. One of the crew, named James Howson,
WAS saved by lashing himself to a spar, which was carried
by the waves ashore. The rest of his companions, how-
ever, ten in number, including the captain, met with a
watery grave.

Now, let us bear in mind that the oath of supremacy,
which we have set out in exteaso, is not only in full force
of law, but that no Protestant can be sworn as a member
of any of the sacred, learned, or military professions—
cannot be ordained as a clergyman, called to the bar as
a lawyer, or admitted as an attorney—that he cannot
hold any office of trust, responsibility, or emolument
under the Crown, or be a Director of the national banks
in either country—that no Peer or Commoner can take
his seat in either House of Parliament—in fine, that no
Protestant can, on any occasion, take the oath of alle-
giance to his Sovereign without swearing :--
" That no foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or
potentate hal, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power,
superiority, pre-eminence,
,or authority, ecclesiastical or
spiritual, within this realm. '
We must here beg of our readers to go back to the
whole oath—to read it carefully in the context—to me-
ditate deeply upon the spirit in which it is evident it
was framed, as well as upon the feeling in which it ought
to be taken ; for those to whom we address ourselves
view oaths, and swear that they do so, " in the plain and
ordinary sense of the wards, as they are commonly
understood by Protestants, without any evasion, equivoca-
tion, or mental reservation whatsoever." We call upon
them to consider well against whom (" the Pope"), and
against what (" the See of Rome") this obligation was
framed—personally, politically, and religiously ; and
seeing that the Irish Roman Catholic Prelates derive their
dignity and their titles direct from the Pope and the See
of Rome ; and that these titles are now for the first time
recognised by law, and proclaimed under the sign manual
of a British monarch—we put it deliberately and calmly
to the considerations of believing Protestants, whether
any one can conscientiously swear ;--
"That the Pope or See of Rome hath not, nor ought
to have, power or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual,
within this realm."

as the bloodhounds of Cromwell, who butchered three
hundred defenceless women who were Ecsernbled round
the cross in Wexford, and who would, if they had the
power, commit similar atrocities at the present day.
There was much of the Cromwellian spirit in the pro.
sent Parliament, and there was little to be expected freni
it. It was assembled at the cry of bigotry ; and though
Peel had betrayed his party, and falsified the principles
by which he got into power, yet he was supported upon the ground of hatred to Ireland. He had read a most
able article in the Morning Chronicle of last Saturday,
with most of which he agreed ; there was, however,
one part of that which was wrong—it said that re-
peal was an absurdity. ; but, with the ble..sing
of Heaven, he would show that the absurdity was the
ether way, and he was sure that the Irish people would
deserve to be designated the most absurd and con-
temptible wretches that ever crawled on the earth, if they
relaxed for one moment in their peaceful efforts until
they accomplished the glorious object they had in view.
—(Loud cheers.) The Chronicle said if the Irish Mem-
bers went over and called for an inquiry, and that it was
granted, they weuld have a great triumph over the Irish
Government ; and if it were not granted, they would go
back doubly armed for repeal. Now, if the party which
the Chronicle represented were sincere in their wishes to
expose to the world the iniquities of that prosecution,
they would call for the inquiry whether the Irish repeal
Members were there or not; and although hethought they
would fail in obtaining it, they would have a better
chance of success in their absence than if they were
present. He had always great confidence in the
Whigs when he knew that it was their interest to
act honestly—(Laughter)—and he knew that if they
had a chance of victory over the Ministry, they would
bring forward the motion, but he also knew that they
were not likely to encounter certain defeat ; and he
would tell the Whigs, if the motion was not brought
forward, that he knew they were satisfied of being
defeated. Nothing, he said, remained for Ireland
but to look for a Parliament of her own, that would
keep a check upon the bench as well as other officials,
and protect the interests of the country. It was in
their own Parliament alone that they might look for or
expect justice--a Parliament that would compel absentees
to remain at home, or, what would be equally serviceable,
to make them sell their estates to those who would spend
their rentals amongst the people, then they might go and
live where they pleased, as they could afford to lose them.
If he (Mr. O'Connell) was only able to announce to-
morrow that he would have some six millions annually,
or about 500,000/. a month, spent in Ireland, would not
they think him their benefactor? No doubt they would;
and that was precisely what be was struggling for, as
that sum should, and must, yet be spent in Ireland.
The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then stated
that he had said more than he intended to do when he
first got up, as he merely rose to apologise for not.
having the report ready on that day. He could not say
whethr or not they would go to England this session.
He would anticipate nothing, as he could not see how
the Committee would decide ; but he would assure them
th a
wt u
ld whateverbe decision

in
the
theo
bestse gentlemencand our should
of
theitheir
judgment arrive at
and sincerity of affection for Ireland.(Cheers.) He
begged to move, " That the Committee would have liberty
to meet and decide upon the matter between that and the
next day of meeting.'
The motion was then put from the chair, and passed
unanimously.
After the disposal of some routine business,
Mr. O'CONNELL announced the rent for the week as
amounting to 257 L
Mr. John O'Connell was then called to the chair, when
the usual vote of thanks was passed to the former Chair
man, and the meeting separated.

THE T 4_ TitES
scum:F. y T27E.4 'FR J:.
A new three-ate!: st Smith, Esq , was
last night performed at this theatre- for the second
time, e:,titled ii-oiveis; or, The Secret 11'1E-
ne.vs, with sonic vere pretty scenery
by Mr. Brim-
ning, Mr. Turner,
ike. The plot embraces a va-
riety of situations and incidents,
whichare well adapted
to excite interest, and the play is one which l. likely.
to become a favourite with the fesolente.rs of this
theatre. The first scene introduces us-to Walter; the
secretary to Sir John de Mancievit:o (Mr. N. T.
who, in the presence of the ehaplaireof thin
high-born commoner, frankly avows Lis pension fur
Margaret de Mandeville (l\irs. R. IL nner), tins ward
of Sir John, he:ng at the same time fiirewarnEd
the chaplain of the consequeaces of his preeeasption
(he being of ignoble birth) in aepiring totiie
hand of a lady of eolde blood. In the nese- scene
Margaret de Mandeville appears, and Waite: and she
plight their fitith to each other, and, while Walter is
on his knees, rapturously kissing the band of the
maiden, they are surprised by the .appeerance of
Adam, an Italian physician and creature Of Sir John
de Mandeville, who reviles Walter fur his presump-
tion. Walter is about to lay bands on Adam,
who draws a small dagger, and gives him to under-
stand that its blade is noisoned. Margaret stands
between them, and at the nod of Adam his
minions appear and bear off 'Walter to prison, Mar-
garet being summoned to the presence of her guar-
dian . Prior to this, however, Henry, the son of Sir
John, aged 18 (played by Mrs. Henry Vining), meets
his " dear coz," and in ardent terms declares his pas-
sion for her, and entreats a kiss from her pouting lips.
Walter is afterwards brought into the presence of
Sir John Mandeville, who is accompanied by Adam,
and Walter being informed that the penalty on his
presumption is death, boldly rushes out at the
window, for the purpose ohtaining an interview
with Cardinal Wolsey, whose life, we are told, his father
had saved_ on the Orwell when they were schoolboys.
The second act introduces us to the grand hall of
audience in the palace of Bishops'horp, the seat
of Wolsey; where Walter, having uresented a me-
morial in person to the Cardinal, is by him made
usher of the chamber, and obtains from him a pro-
tection. This scene is followed by a meeting betwesin
Sir John de Mandeville and the Italian physician,
Adam, who, pandering to the ambitious designs of
Sir John de Mandeville, who has been seeking to force
his ward to marry him, boldly suggests to Sir John
that, in order to carry out his views, which have
hitherto been thwarted, he should murder his ward,
Margaret, by administering poison to her, by which
means his own honour would remain to all appear-
ance unsullied before the world, and the number and
value of his estates would be considerably enhanc (I.
The proposal is entertained by Sir John, but the
whole plan has been overheard by Henry, his son.
Wolsey appears. in the streets of York at night, etis•
guised as friar, and meets with a woolstapler of
York, John Steadman (Mr. R. Honner), who, on
hearing that Margaret is in danger, agrees to watch
outside the residence of Sir John (whilst the pre-
tended friar seeks a refuge for the night under that
roof), and to fetch the officers of,iustice when a signal
shall be made. An interview follows between Mar-
garet and the Cardinal, who assures her that he will
protect her, and he retires behind the arras in the
room, having male the signal for assistance. Adam
enters with the " poisoned chalice," which is placed
on a table; he is followed by Sir John de Mandeville,
and at the same time Henry appears at the back of
the stage to watch the proceedings of the plot to
poison Margaret. Margaret meets the repeated pro-
posals of her guardian with indignation and contempt,
and he is about to stab her when his son rushes
forward, wrests the dagger from his hands, and up-
braids him as a murderer. Henry then advances
and drinks the poison which he had intended for Mar-
garet, and in his dying agony pours his blessings on
Margaret. The officers of justice appear, and Mar-
garet is accused of being the murderer, the Cardinal
in his disguisa escaping from the room at the moment.
The curtain is drawn aside, and the witness to the
innocence of Margaret has fled—she is borne away to
a dungeon, and a trial ensues, and she is sentenced
to die. Steadman, the woolstapler, has been sent in
search of the Friar, and he encounters the Cardinal,
whom he at first rather roughly handles. The Cardinal,
however, discovers himself, but assures Steadman that
his object is to let the murderers proceed until the mo-
ment at which they may suppose they have triumphed—
and true to his word, the prelate marches into court, de-
declares himself to be the witness in favour of Mar-
garet, whose hand, as a matter of course, is given to
Walter by the Cardinal, and the scene closes with
the bitter discovery by Adam, that Sir John de
Mandeville had basely used the object of his (Adam's)
best affections; and this declarati,, is followed by
the scoffs of the hardened Italian, who gloats on the
misery he has brought upon Sir John, and the
wretched culprits are carried away to prison. The
scenery is worthy of the artists. The Ouse at sun-
rise, with a distant view of York Minster and Clif-
ford's Tower, is very good. The play was very well
received, and all the characters were veryibl.y sus-
tained. The play was followed by the'aift„inal
I3omische national polka, which was adiriirably, •
Glanced by Mr. W. 11. Harvey and Miss Smithycs,
who were rapturously encored. Mr. Harvey is a
most graceful dancer. The drama of the Pledge of
Love and the Pantomime closed the. evening's enter-
tainments.

HEARTLESS CONDUCT OF A SWEDTSH CAPTAIN.—
On Tuesday morning, as the crew of a Deal boat called
the Princess Royal, were off the South Foreland, they
observed a brig, which, from cereain evolutions, they
were led to conclude had a pilot to land. Impressed
with this belief, they proceeded to the vessel,
and on nearing her, the captain, to their asto-
nishment, called out that he had lost a boy
overboard, at the same time pointing tow indward. The
conduct of the captain appeared so thoroughly heartless,
and unfeeling, that the boatmen bitterly exclaimed against
it in no very unineassured terms, asking him why ho
had not hove tee and le wered his boat, particularly as
there was nothing in the State of the weather to prat
him doing so. No reply was made, and the brig 'en-
sued the same undeviatine course, going at the tate
of five knots en hour, leaving the poor boy every
instant at a greater distance. 'The boatmen, with that
prompt alacrity and humanity for which they are
proverbial, proceeded in the direction indicated, and,
after making two tacks, discovered the boy strug-
gling with the waves. To keep up bis spirits they
loudlyhailed him, at the same time waving their hats, and
using every possible cheerin,re demonstration. Strange to
say, they arrived at the critical period on which the boy's
fate seemed to depend—a few moments longer, and all
would inevitably have been lost. A firm grasp of the
arm soon rescued the sufferer, and brought him into the
boat. By judicious treatment the boy ultimately re-
covered, and was removed in a cart to Deal, where he
remains under the protection of the Vice-Consul Too
much praise cannot be given to the boatmen for their
noble and disinterested conduct. The name of the brig
is the Preia, Captain llendtman, bound to Rio Janerio.

BRUTAL CONDUCT AND PROVIDEN fIAL
The cutter Design from Terceira, with a cargo of fruit
for London, was proceeding up channel with a fine breeze
at S. b E. when, arriving off Exmouth, about one o'clock
off Friday morning, the 10th instant, at a distance of
about thirty miles from the land, she was run into with
a most tremendous crash by a large barque, name un-
known, running down channel before the wind, and imme-
diately
tt omo th utmost

cre
for assistance. The mate, throwing off his boots and
generalat crya u
clothes, jumped into the sea, and swam away in hope of
being picked up by the barque, and fearing the vortex
would carry him clown. At the same moment the re-
mainder of the crew, five in number, with the greatest
perseverance and presence of mind, reached their boat,
which was secured on the hatches, and with a very sall
pocket-knife succeeded in cutting through the lashing just
at the very instant the vessel sunk from under their feet.
The plugs being both:out, two of the men thrust their
thumbs into the plug-holes, and partly prevented the
water from rushing in, while the' three other people were
engaged in extricating the boat from thecntangloment of
