given the necessary notice for the suspension of
their Standing Orders, with a view to the passing
of the Bi l for restraining the Bank of Ireland
trom paying its Notes is cash under 201., which
went through all its stages-in the House of Com-
Mons on the preceding evening. These Standing
Orders cannot upon the principle of forrn be sus-,

fended until this afternoon ; in consequence of
which the Bill could only pass its first stage yes-
terhlay. This evening its remaining stages will be
gone through ; after which the Bill will recci've
the Royal Assent, and both Houses will adjourn
for the Holidays.

The people at large cannot but be struck with
the extraordinary modesty of Mr. BROUGHAM, who,
though he was not a Member of the Committee
on the Bank Restriction; and though the Bill
framed in consequence of their enquiry was ap-
proved by ocher Members of his own Political
Band (we dare not say Party, or use a still
harsher term), continued till the last a resolute
opponent of a measure deemed absolutely,essen-

tial for the retention of Gold Currency in the
Empire. The Marquess of LANSDOWNS gave
his decided approbation of the measure, and the
Earl of LAUDERDALII approved of it, under certain
qualifications; but though neither of those
Noblensen could communicate the proceedings
of the Committee to him, yet he ought, we con-
ceive, to have shewn more confidence in their judg-
ment and their regard for the welfare of the Coun-
try, than to suppose that they would have given
their sanction to any measure, not deemed abso-

rely necessary. But Mr. BROUGHAM appears to

have more reliance upon the judgment and the
knowledge of one favourite individual, than upon

the whole of his Party, or, perhaps, the collective
wisdom► of mankind and we believe that few who
have observed the public conduct, and attended
to the political character of this Gentleman,
will be under the least difficulty in discovering the
person in whom he so confidently reposes and so
implicitly depends upon all occasions.

POPERY..--The Sligo Protestant Meeting, on the
26• h ult., consisting of the most respectable cha-
racters in the County,among other salutary Resolu-
tions,has the following :--" We feel it our bounden
duty again to come forward and emphatically to
declare it to be our firm belief and deep convic-
tion—that if the Constitution, as settled at the
Revolution of 1688 (freed as it now is from all
penal enactments) shall be unsettled; and that the
political power in this Protestant State shall, in
opposition to the most fundamental principles of
that great constitutional settlement, be extended to
persons adhering to the Church of Rome—the im-
mediate consequence in Ireland must be to esta-
blish a Roman Catholic Ascendancy, which, gra-
dually proceeding to a Domination, through mul-
tiplied confusions and miseries, will filially subvert
the Establishment of the Church of England in

this cart of the United Kingdom, and shake to
the foundation its Ituperial connection."—The
Dublin Evening Post says of these Resolutions,
that " they call for no particular observations."
Not indeed in that Paper, which seems to have
devoted itself to the cause of POPERY ; but they
are heartily approved of by all loyal and wise peo-
ple throughout the United Empire.

THE LATE G. ilitmow.—The following cir•
cnmstance is related of the late Mr. HARLOW:—
. Walling with his mother once in Piccadilly, she pointed
out to him, knocking at the Duke of Devonshire's gale, Mr.
Hare, the well-known associate of his Grace, of Mr. Fox, and
other celebrated persons, and a Gentleman of whom she had
often spoken as having been an intimate friend of his father
and family. No further attention was paid to the matter at
the time, but Mr. Hare dying shortly after, it became a sub-
ject of deep regret to the Duchess of Devonshire and others,
that no likeness had been taken, to preserve the memory of
on, so much valued. This, by accident, reached the ear of
IlraloW, who told his mother, that be thought he could exe-
cute a pm-trait of Mr. Hare from recollection. He accordingly
set about it, and, with very slight assistance, produced a pic-
ture which was universally acknowledged to he an admirable
likeness. This extraordinary faculty never left the Arti,t,
and he could almost invariably retrace front ructuory such
portraits as lie had bratcrly ouyied."
