(FROM THE FREIMAN'S JOURNAL OF THURSDAY.)

Had Mr Saurin ken what he was, Attorney-General,
and the Catholic leaders, what their demeanour proves
them not to be, the preachers of extermination and blood,
would the ex-law officer of the Crown hare hailed the
seditious and sanguinary doctrines, inculcated by them,
with a cheer instead of an ex-officio ? This is a question
which Mr. Saurin should digest, before he undertakes, in
conjunction with his colleagues of the Brunswick Club, to
model the regulations which are to govern that institution
—if government can be supposed, where all, save the ran-
dom authority of Orangeisns, is contemned. A King's Coun-
sel is not to be told that insurrectionary language is dangerous
to the Throne, whether it be applauded at thefeasts of Orange-
men, or in those assemblies, where the oppressed drink
their cup of bitterness. The volunteer, who would forestall
the justice of Parliarneat and point to his hatallioned squa-
drons, when a majority of one estate of that Parliament
have recorded their anxiety for the consummation, whose
prospect provokes his gorge, and when there is even an as-
surance, that the question is amicably entertained by the
two other estates, is the most dangerous of rebels, no matter
whether he associate with a Crown Lawyer or the locum
ttnens of a Judge. Nothing could be snore inappropriate
than Mr. Shiers classification of the advocates of freedom
of conscience into one department, the Orangemen into
a second, and the Government into a separate and
neutral third, if the Administrators of justice, and
some of the Law Officers of Government appear pro-
minent in the ranks of the Orangemen. Lord An-
glesey is not enlisted with either party, neither is the Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, nor others of the Judges whom we
could name, and so far Mr. Sheil was right; but what
will it profit the character of the Government that those
are not pressed into the Orange service, while Mr. Ser-
geant Lefroy, whose judicial circuits identify him with the
Government in the eyes of the people, is now more palpa-
bly notorious, as a Sub-committee scrivener to the Bruns-
wick Club. Will the plea of neutrality hold good, while
those Janissiries, the yeomanry of Ireland, are at the beck
of this Club, and in the pay of the Government? This is a
dangerous, we would add, a desperate condition of 90..
ciety. The snore we analyse it, the more are our minds
appalled.

It has been stated in some of th© daily papers,
that the new Alehouse Licensing, Act which will come
into operation on the 10th of October, repeals the penalties
against drunkenness, contained in the statute of JAMES 1.,
without substituting goy other provisions for the repression
of this vice. The writer, however, has misunderstood
the new law, which repeals only that part of the Act of
JAMES which disables every alehouse-keeper convicted of
pit unkenness from keeping any alehouse for three years next
ensuing. The third clause of the statute, which empowers
the Magistrate to fine for the first offence, and hind to good
behaviour for the second, will remain in full force, we
wish we could add to the dread of all habitual drunkards.

ELOPEMENT.--Ott Monday morning, before
the day dawned, and while all " nature was sleeping," the
daughter of a respectable manufacturer in this tewn stale
from her father's house, and placed herself under the care
of her lover, who was waiting at a short distance with a
post chaise to receive her, and in which they both imme-
diately set off to Ashopton Inn, where we understand fonr
horses were ready to convey them forward. Their desti-
nation, we believe, was Manchester, where the fortunate
lover carries on the business of a foreign wine importer.
The lady, we hear, is very young, a few months turned
fifteen. —Meiji' eld Courant.

Yesterday the Grand Jury of the Westminster
Sessions found hills of indictment, at the instance of the
Dowager Lady GRESLEY, against SMITH, her ladyship's
l ite coachman, and JOHNSON and BEANIs'AN, her ladyship's
late butler and under-butler, for a desperate riot at her
ladyship's house in Conduit-street a few days ago. True
bills were also found against JonNsoN and BRANNAN for
assaulting, with pokers, on the same occasion, two gentlemen,
named SELny and WILLIAMS, friends of her ladyship, who
were in the house at the time. All these indictments, on
being found by the Grand Jury, were instantly removed on
certiorari, lay Mr. SHERIFF, her ladyship's solicitor, for
trial into the Court of King's Bench. Lady GRESLET
herself, as well as all the other necessary witnesses, attended
yesterday at the sessions on the preferring of the
