stitutions established during his absence was known, In-
guanzo becatpe a parasite, and a most strenuous upholder of
despotic power. As a reward for his zeal and activity, or
rather, treachery and denunciations, he was made Bishop
of Zamora. After the Constitution was again proclaimed
in 1820, he continued to intrigue against, and became one
of the avowed champions of those who contended for its
second overthrow. He, in fact, raised the inhabitants of
his own Bishopric of Zamora against it in 1823, and at their
head prevented the entry of General Empecinado into that
city. This revolution and defence of Zamora, in the
King's interests, raised his fame, and he increased it by
subsequent punishment he caused to be inflicted on many
persons, belonging to his own diocese, for the crime of
being Constitutionalists. Traits of the most horrid and
vindictive nature are recorded of him. This marked de-
votion to the King's cause, and his great learning, obtain-
ed for him the See of Toledo, the first dignity of the
Kingdom, and previously filled by a Member of the Royal
Family, and Uncle to the King. Ever since, he has been
known as one of the most zealous supporters of the
Throne, and may now be considered as the leader of the
Apostolicals. The length and difficulties of our transla-
tion from the MS. Copy of the Archbishop of Toledo's
Address, as it reached us from Madrid, have precluded
the possibility of any remarks on the tendency of the doc-
trines contained in so novel and influential a paper. We
shall, however, resume the subject, and, in the mean-
time, merely remark, that the sentiments conveyed in
this document may now be considered as those of King
Ferdinand, of the whole Royal Family, and also of the
entire party that governs Spain, from one extreme to the
other; in short, the same which armed the Portuguesere-
fugees on the Spainsh frontiers, and now assembles an army
of 24,000 Spaniards there. We shall close our observations
for the present, by copying here an extract from the letter,
dated Madrid, Dec. 27:—" I enclose you a copy of the
Exposition, which Inguanzo, the Archbishop of Toledo,
has just submitted to the King. Its circulation is yet ex-
tremely private, as you will conclude from the high cha-
racter of the author, and the nature of the subject. It is,
in fact, only in the hands of a few big-wigs here—but in
the palace it has made the deepest impression. I don't
say an accident—but rather my anxiety for the triumph of
liberal principles, has placed it within my reach, and I
hasten to send you a scribbled and hasty copy of a paper
which, if the Apostolicals gain the day, will be registered
in the churches in golden letters, or preserved for history
with more awe than the late Protest of the Duke of York
in the House of Lords. I shall merely add, that if a war
ensues, here the attempt will be made to give to it the
character of a war of religion and in that case, resources
will not be wanting; for, believe me, here or in Portugal,
money scarcely would be necessary to carry on hostilities,
waged by fanatics. The general opinion, besides, is, that
there are other instigators to this war in addition to the
Clergy.—Morning Chronicle.
At one of the late grotesque exhibitions. which O'Can-

nell and.Sheil get up under the name of Catholic Meet-,
ings, these two persons attempted to act a character very
ill suited to them. The principal topic was the anti-
cipated death of his Royal Highness the Duke of
York ; and the two speakers (for, at a Catholic Meeting
who but O'Connell and Sheil have a right to speak?)
seem to have been very anxious to lessen, by an af-
‘fected recantation of their former atrocities, the hor-
ror and disgust which the recollection of those atrocities
inspire.- In taking this course; these men showed rather
more prudence than usual. They did not dare to dissent
from that universal esteem, and that love and regret, which
have accompanied our late excellent Prince to the termi-

nation.of his mortal existence. The English are a nation
who do not lavish approbation and affection upon Princes
undeserving of such sentiments, nor are we apt to be very
prompt and decided in expressing even the attachment
which we feel. The Duke of York had spent his life
among us, in the open intercourse of private society, and
in the active collision of daily business. He was not fenced
and guarded from severe observation and keen judgment
by the ceremonial of a Court; nor was he subjected to the
scrutiny of those only who might be inclined to form a
fair or a favourable. opinion. He was brought into con-
tact with persons of all descriptions. His, whole life
was before the eyes of his countrymen. He was placed
in a -situation, the duties. of which were as deli-
cate as they were arduous and important ; and the
result was that this or that class, or this or that party, but
that all men, of all classes, and of all parties, esteemed
him highly and loved him warmly. The Dublin spouters,
awed by the strong and general feeling of the country, did
not dare to yield to their own base and grovelling spirit.
They were compelled, in spite of their own natures, to
prostrate themselves at the name which they had done
their utmost to outrage. Their homage to the Duke of
York is, in itself, without value, for they are incapable of
esteem for anything except that which nobody else esteems
—themselves and their speeches; and they are incapable
of love for aught which is not as worthless as their own
chara,cters ; but their eulogies prove the strength and ar-
dour of the feelings which attach the nation to the memory
of the Duke of York, tied which even O'Connell and
Shiel find it prudent to respect. O'Connell stated that
his Royal Highness was gallant, candid, and sincere; that
hg Thever broke his promise to any human being ; that he
never madp a distinction between a Catholic and a Protes-
tant ; and that his personal friends, who voted for Catholic
'Emancipation, were nevee treated by him with less
cordiality on that account. Sheil followed; and, in a
tissue of asthmatic rhetoric, gasping and panting for long
epithets, metaphors, and shreds of verses, heaped every
praise upon him, whom his reptile malice had shortly be-
fore in vain attempted to outrage. He was, however,
unable to suppress the unclean devil which possesses him,
Every now and then it was easy to discover that lurking
cowardly hatred, which a bad man always bears to him
whom he supposes that he has injured. One passage in
the elaborate, painfully conceived, and painfully delivered,
rigmarole of this mountebank, may be noticed, as a speci-
men of the extravagant falsehoods which may be retailed
among such auditors as those to whom he addresses him-
self. " Nor," says he, " should the people of this coun-
try follow the example set them by. the English, who,
at the burial of Castlereagh, shouted . at the gates
of Westminster Abbey, and commended him with
execrations to the grave." Let the vain hireling
spoutet libel, if he pleases, himself, and his country,
and the religipy which he deems it convenient to
profess ; but let him. not utter spe.rsions on the peo-
ple of England, which, though suited to such lips as
his, the ears of an Irish audience ought to have rejected
with indignation. The Englisb shout at the burial of Lord
Londonderry ! The English commend him with execra-
tions to the grave ! It is true, that, as the coffin of that
lamented Nobleman was removed out of the hearse, a few
hired miscreants, who had mixed with the mob, attempted
to raise a shout; but even the mob, far from joining in it,
expressed only disgust and abhorrence, that monsters, so
debased, should have found a place among them. We are
not without our miscreants any more than Ireland; there
are in London, as well as in Dublin, men, who have all
the qualities of assassins and traitors, except courage; and
it is natural that such men should exult, when all good men
mourn. But such wretches are not more the English
nation, than the criminals who suffer by the laws of their
country. They are among us what O'Connell and Sheil
are in Ireland ; and God forbid that either the hearts or
the understandings of our Irish fellow-subjects should
be judged of from the extravagances of such ruffians.—New
Times.

The herring fishing Frith is doing very little
in the
this season. The boats have frequently been out whole days with-
out getting many barrels. The herrings, too, are smaller than
those of former years, when the fishing was attended with greater
success. Indeed,
there is every reason to fear. that the herrings
will in a few years desert the Frith altogether, as the take of eac
season shows that they are gradually on the decline. The last
time that the, expectations of the curers were fully realised was in
1814 - since then, with one or two exceptions, the quantity taken
has been less and less every year.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
